Boobies

Ok, I have been off the radar for a bit and thought i would come back with a interest peaking title. Sorry, but have been searching for meaning in my life. There are a few interesting things to write about. First, Boobies.

My wife(this is all coming out wrong!) My wife works for a Breast Cancer charity. During my tumbling around online this week, i noticed a couple of stories. The first is from Shots. For those who don't know, Shots is a mag, focused primarily on the commercials industry. I think its great, but far too expensive. Priced for ad execs. (£655 per year includes mag and dvd)

Anyways, they throw us normal folks a bone on the website with some bits and pieces, including Hot Shots. The Hot Shot of the moment is a spot for Breast Cancer Charity ABC. Have a look HERE.

For the production breakdown:
Here's the story!

I think charities struggle with the use of shock tactics. But in this case i think it is used to good effect, relying on strong visual style a good use of music and pace. Oh, and it's still very sexy.



Following this is the story in Canada where the “Exotic Dancers for Cancer” event is held in memory of Jocelyn a former dancer who died from the disease and features live shows, entertainment and a silent auction.

The dancers raised $3,000 for the Breast Cancer Society of Canada last year through an annual fundraising event.

But this year the Society has turned down their donation, saying some major donors don't want to be associated with exotic dancing.

On the event's website they quote a letter received from one of the charity's directors:

“Unfortunately we will have to decline your kind offer as we have certain major donors that are not in favour of this connection,” wrote Rany Xanthopoulo, Executive Director of the BCSC. “This decision came as a result of donor disgruntlement and together with the Board of Directors we have decided not to accept any donations from what donors consider controversial sources.”

I some how think with all of this press, the $10 event will be sold out this year!
