Why is Overstock.com using a porn star as their spokesmodel?

[WilliamPitt]

That woman appears to be in the terminal stages of some carnal urgency. I've never seen anyone get so hot and bothered over books being sold online.

"Sometimes...it's about the gold..."

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[Texasgal]

1. Because...

It's all about the "O".... if ya know what I mean! :P

Edit: spelling

[WilliamPitt]

11. O!!! O!!! O!!!

[SOteric]

17. Careful, you'll turn this into a sex thread.

[burythehatchet]

2. When I hear the "it's about the O" I lose it

because it reminds me of the guy in Office Space talking about his sexual prowess...the "O" face

[jswordy]

6. Don't let that bother you. Remember...

...the guy who talks about it all the time, AIN'T GOT IT!

I'm a guy, and you can take that TO THE BANK!

Heheheheh.

[southpaw]

15. Like this?

[burythehatchet]

18. that's the ticket!

[MissB]

3. I thought it was "sometimes..... it's about the

'O'".

Seriously.

[blondeatlast]

5. She does both, so to speak.

:evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

4. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... I want to punch the tube

when she's on.

Sometimes, it's all about the talentless, barely attractive model in the low rent commercial, too!

[name not needed]

7. "I want to punch the tube when she's on"

Nice choice of words. :7

[blondeatlast]

10. 'Cept I'm a lady-person.

But yeah, I caught my unfortunate entendre later.

[MissB]

12. LOL

I thought it was rather clever, even if you didn't mean it.

[burythehatchet]

19. that's a little harsh

she's got tons of skank appeal.

[tridim]

8. It's not nearly as bad as the Best Buy commercial I saw last night

It was a plasma screen TV commercial.. A sexy female voice repeats.. "Do you want me? Do you want me?" and then at the end she says.. "Do you want me? Then come and get me"

I'm so glad I'm immune to TV advertising.

[jswordy]

9. The worst thing to me about it is...

Overstock.com often won't have the book you want!

Then it is all about the "O well!"

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. This is very discouragong.

I have always expected Overstock.com to have more dignity
and things like that. I have looked up to them as the place
to go to get things but also, to feel dignity as I did. Now
I wonder now if something is sacred.

[SmileyBoy]

14. It's all about the "Big O" (orgasm)

It's all about sexual innuendo.

[SOteric]

16. Have you never read The Story of O?

It's all about the O.

[swimmernsecretsea]

20. It's all about the ewwww

how awful and obvious that commerical is...

[notadmblnd]

21. The commercial made no sense to me either

Whats her point taking her glasses off and her hair down at the end?

[derby378]

23. Made you look!

It's moichendising. Feel the power of the Schwartz.

[edbermac]

22. Why not? Reading is a very erotic experience...

[lastknowngood]

24. You get it! So many people miss it. The whole add is a direct

take off of a very popular porn book from the 70's I believe "The Story Of O" The O on the necklace is a direct take off.

[Melynn]

25. What I don't understand

is why everything is in white? The model's clothes are white, the furniture is white and the wall are painted white. White, white, white. Are they trying to suggest everything is pure???? I don't get it.:shrug:
