Hello! (That will probably get the Google hits up a notch.)
The hit CW show has unleashed a series of new ads for the new season of the soap opera, and it actually uses negative quotes from critics as the main selling point. "A Nasty Piece Of Work!" says The New York Post. "Every Parent's Nightmare," says The Boston Herald. "Mindblowingly Inappropriate," says the Parents Television Council. It's a classic example of a critic's words actually being the perfect ad copy for the audience of a particular show.
Of course, the pics of half-naked cast members in the ad probably helps, too. Though to be fair, I'm not sure what's happening in the upper left corner ad. Is he smoking?
