Envirofone.com
31 May 2008 by SilkyYou know, I thought Alpen’s attempt to sex up muesli last year was a little desperate but that’s nothing compared to Envirofone’s attempt to sex up the world of mobile phone recycling.
Their advert is a little bit like a play on the old joke in which an attractive woman appears on an old man’s doorstep and tells him “I’m here to offer you super sex!”. To which the man replies “I’ll have the soup, please.”
Yes the Environfone advert poses the question: Which do men prefer, a scantily clad young woman or 32 quid?
Or as Chelsea Monks, who submitted this bad ad, asks:
What red blooded male would pass her up for a tenner??!!
Quite.
In fact, I was so unsure about which I prefer, I’ve had to watch this advert 50 or 60 times in a row now. And my view on this matter is still slightly blurred - along with my view of everything else after seeing her dirty pillows so many times.
Anyway, I’ve come to the conclusion that she is either a ghost - which would explain why he appears not to notice her - or that she charges at least £32 for whatever service she offers - and this is why he is so focused on his goal.
Yep, definitely one of those two options.
Cheers, Chelsea Monks.

The most gratuitous use of a mobile phone I’ve ever seen (and that girl isn’t on their website).

Just for a laugh, I went along to their website to try it with my old mobile.
They offered 20p for it.

This advert is surely not real! What channel/time are you likely to catch a broadcast?

Shame about her face, Yeah wouldn’t advertising standards have a heart attack if this came on?
