VS Make 'Soft-Porn' Ad!

Hi everyone,

Not sure if anyone else has read about this, if it had been April 1st then I would have thought it was a hoax, but apparently it's true!

According to page 21 of the Mirror today (a colleagues copy!) Harry Enfield has made a £1 million soft-porn commercial in an attempt to find fame in America...he directed the 10 minute saucy advert for Virgin Atlantic.

Couldn't find a link to a copy of the article but found another page which goes into a bit more detail...

Does anyone know where to view it without having to travel across to the states and pay per view!

Maybe Channel 4 will take it on. Reminds me of the red triangle days! lol...

Interesting piece, Harry Enfield is the Director.

It will be screened in the US on the LodgeNet hotels porn channel. The piece in the NY Times says:

quote:The parody ends with text on screen identifying Virgin Atlantic as the sponsor and offering a frequent-flier reward for watching

Wonder what the reward might be [:I]

I do love their Marketing department. The first time I went to the US (NY) they had their big "Virgin Shaglantic" campaign tie-in with Austin Powers - can't see many other airlines doing something similar to either of these two campaigns.

But then thats part of the appeal of Virgin for me.
