Shocker! Playboy Uses Sex to Sell!

Ah, yes, the elevator. It’s amazing how a little box held up by wires can conjur such elaborate fantasies. Sadly, they never happen in the real world but they do in Playboy commercials. Playboy commercial for a new line of Playboy Fragrances. Yes, the vaunted men’s magazine is branching out. Hey, it has to. No one buys the magazine anymore. And who would when every last drop of sexual depravity can be had online for free?

So to promote a new line of fragrances, Playboy, unlike most other brands that use the gimmick to sell, is aligning itself closely with what it’s brand stands for and is using it to sell this new product line.

In the ad, we see a man and a woman. The fantasies begin from there. Twins. Triplets. Parallel dimensions populated by 21-23 year old girls who have a fear of commitment and, well, other very weird stuff.
