Taking a page out of viral site development, Philips unleashed an amazing campaign for its Body Groom product. (Forget the product itself, I'm commenting on the marketing of it.) This is definitely the future of corporate advertising. Forget TV altogether. This even one-ups Nutrigrain's online-only "Feeling Great" commercial.
The spectrum of content is more akin to Homestar Runner than a corporate product launch site. (Who designed this thing?) The fact that this site is not being discussed more here is scary -- as web designers this is exactly what we'll be paid to emulate in the future.

you're confusing me... you use the term 'viral'... then you describe the campaign as 'amazing'... then compare the campaign to 'homestar runner'(you fail to say if homestar runner is good in your book)... then... THEN... you say you're scared a bit due to the lack of discussion on what is the 'future' in which we'll be emulating?
HUH?
dude... do you like it? or not?
Sweet me, I'm confused by your post.

kelpie - I think you've seen this:
http://www.shaveeverywhere.com ... you're just a little in the air at what this post is all about. :)

when was this in the PBS? you have to include the links in your post if you want to start a discussion, not simply diss the forum for not having started the discussion already.

I think - though I may be slightly off the mark, as I'm reading between the lines here - that Stewdio is actually wanting to discuss male body trimming generally (Forget the product itself, I'm commenting on what this means for all of us).
This is defintely the future - forget what your friends might say. It even one-ups the online-only "late night wank".
The feeling is akin to running naked and free through the morning crowds than sitting, stifled in a corporate suit. (Who wouldn't, these days?) The fact that this hasn't featured more on NT is scary - as perverts, we need to share in these delight - so please, take me off ignore.

so please, take me off ignore.

(May 4 06, 04:16)* the demi-shorn ginger net geek eyes this curious hugging female with an apprehension borne of 10 years behind a computer. Foregoing a slight prod in the ribs to verify integrity and truthiness of the charitable outreach, nairn reciprocates and senses the depths of this bittersweet tenderness that he has heard referred to as 'human contact'.
* in this moment, all is changed. and ... Nairn goes outside.
"it's a lovely day after all".
- paraselene0
