Re: It seems not everyone is happy with Jenna Jameson in the Jackson ads...

On that thread on the Fender board, there only seem to be a couple of people bitching about the Jenna ads--most of the folks there seem to get the idea that it's just an advertising campaign, and that it might grab a slight bit of attention for Jackson from the target audience.

Besides, porn has become semi-mainstream in the last ten years or so. It doesn't have the stigma attached to it that it used to.

The big media companies aren't openly involved with porn, but it's so profitable that I have to think they've got some interests in that business. Heck porn is pretty much the economic engine that drives the entire San Fernando Valley.

I don't care who they use in their ads...seeing ANY Jackson ad is better than not seeing Jackson advertised at ALL.

some people just need to chill...there's too much shit going on in the world to worry who has a sluty porn star in their ads....geeze...come to think of it... I'm not gonna buy a Jackson until they drop Jeena and have the child molesting priest is in thier ads [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Ok, maybe Jackson didn't make the first true neckthru, but they definately set the bar way higher for neckthrus when they came onto the scene. Neck dimensions.....seemless joints and lets not forget the compound radius fretboard!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I'm all for their advertising with jenna. Now if she only came with the guitars!!!!!!!

Anyone who has seen him, knows that the closest he could ever get to being laid is to spank it while watching porno.

...that being said, even if he's right - that's like someone taking credit for a song because it was named after them.

Re: It seems not everyone is happy with Jenna Jameson in the Jackson ads...

We had a "Jenna" thread going a little while ago... I think this conversation is kind of played-out.

Anyway, I think what sells Jacksons is ultimately the quality of the guitars. The ads just get people interested. They come for the sex (no pun) and stay for the sweet guitars. It's all just marketing.

And I'm still SHOCKED there are people who complain about having to look at Jenna Jameson on the website and in the catalog. And I'm also shocked there are people who wish Jackson would be a tad more wimpy. C'mon... it's ROCK.

I can't find any fault with some not liking that. It's not like Jameson is on of the most respectable people to have in ads. There are plenty of fine women who aren't best known for having their faces dripping with some guy's funk-love.

Besides, she's not even pretty. Her face is definitely on the fugly side. People just like her because she's doable after seeing her "perform" in her movies.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I see your point! You would think they would try to find a woman who would faithfully represent the wholesome image of the music business.

Re: It seems not everyone is happy with Jenna Jameson in the Jackson ads...

It is my humble opinion that people are way too concerned with being "PC." It doesn't matter how many people hate that add, I guarentee there are more who like it. Fact of life. Sex sells. Take a look at ads for all kinds of products. Subliminal adverstising my friends. Anyone remember the drink ad that had "SEX" written in the ice cubes? I'm stareting to babble now.
For me, no ad ever sold a guitar. Researching it, playing it, talking to others, etc., that is what sells me a guitar. My wife could promise me a blow job if I bought a (insert shitty guitar here) and it wouldn't get me to buy it. I look for quality and playability and J/C offers that. [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]
Now I'm just not making sense anymore. Fuck it. I'm out.

Re: It seems not everyone is happy with Jenna Jameson in the Jackson ads...

I really don't see what the big deal is - beyond that it's a scantilly clad chick with a guitar (a stereotypical image of a woman, designed to please us males). I actually didn't know who Jenna was until I googled her. Now knowing she's a porn star - hmmm...so what? In my opinion, someone being a stripper, a porn star or a prostitute makes more of an honest living than a lot of other people - such as corrupt politicians or businessmen for instance.
