The key to email marketing is personalization and ultra-relevance. This email was to my parents, sisters, and brother-in-laws about a funny video on Saturday Night Live called “Jizz in My Pants.” My Mom’s response was so funny I had to forward it to all eROI employees. If you know my Mom, it’s even funnier.

Saturday Night Live at its finest – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4.

The girls are very attractive but the guys look like a bunch of GoofBalls! Why do women have to go for such Goof Balls??

(Not for the faint of heart or tight of lip) http://eroidays.com/2006/05/08/michael-jackson-works-for-hasbro-not-for-the-faint-of-heart-or-tight-of-lip/ http://eroidays.com/2006/05/08/michael-jackson-works-for-hasbro-not-for-the-faint-of-heart-or-tight-of-lip/#comments Mon, 08 May 2006 08:35:18 +0000 Ryan Buchanan http://eroidays.mu.eroi.com/2006/05/08/michael-jackson-works-for-hasbro-not-for-the-faint-of-heart-or-tight-of-lip/

A buddy of mine sent this to me last week some three syllable Japanese word in the subject line.

I don’t know how in the world this product got past the brainstorming session and into development. Perhaps it seemed innocent enough in theory but even so, the ads have done away with any and all innocence. Everytime I see this spot, I am whisked back in time to the fourth grade, when I worked at Club Bath as a towel boy. The pay was decent but I quit after a particularly sticky situation.

Seriously though, will somebody please smack the folks at Hasbro in the head for allowing this ad to air, or even exist on film? Also, send over a Japanese translator so I can figure out this word: ‘bu…bu…ah, it’s all Greek to me.

P.S. – You think it’s fake? Go here:http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=browse&product_id=17359#

P.P.S. – Frequent pumping reguired.

What is it about the human psyche that most of us don’t step up to help a distressing situation in a public area. In this case, it’s a stranger forcibly kidnapping a 7 year old girl. In suburban New York, this male adult TV actor and girl actress went through dozens of “kidnapping” scenarios and no one helped until finally a couple young men came to her rescue. Hopefully, we can learn to be a little bit more aware and willing to step up to come to someone else’s aid. It’s easy to say, but what would you do? Honestly.

Plushenko flexes his muscle on the ice to the throwback tunes of “Sex Bomb.” What’s he going to do in his next performance? Take a walk down the cat-walk?

Maybe it is because we were all monkeys at one point in time. And some of us her might still be monkeys.

It just does not work. In recent tests only 4 out of 45 email clients will play or at least render the image. If you MUST add a video to your email try either a rotating image or a static image to get me to see it. (Which of course you can in a web browser after the jump).

Remember that we ALL LOVE video now that we have the bandwidth, but there are still some contraints.

This edition is a great example of the new cross channel marketing that we are seeing with the network TV stations adding video content to the library.

Towards the end of this below email you will see the FREE download for the new Pilot of Conviction. I don’t watch alot of new TV now that I have had TIVO for a few years, but with my new video iPod, I can take content on the go. I always thought “Why would I ever watch a video on a screen that small?” but this last week as I was boarding a flight to NYC (Red Eye) I looked at my iPod and noticed that I had added that new Pilot episode. So I sat back and watched it. To get to the end of the story quick, I LOVED It. I was sucked in by this little machine and can’t wait for more video content on my iPod. It might even make me want to pay for TV shows on this device. If you have not already downloaded your copy from Itunes, get over there today. You will not be disapointed.
