Advertising Anarchy: The Beautiful Clark Kent

August 21st, 2009

As the saying goes, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Which is why, in our latest installment of Advertising Anarchy (Our take on how networks might wish to consider promoting some of our favorite new and returning shows this fall), this TV Addict puts aside our animosity toward the CW with regards to their penchant of selling sex to young women (see: campaigns for THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE and MELROSE PLACE) in an effort to give SMALLVILLE fans a break. After all, if anyone deserves a little love, it’s the ridiculously-loyal SMALLVILLE supporters who have spent the better part of nine years helping the CW (formerly the WB) rake in hundreds of millions of dollars sans splashy advertising campaign.

BTW, everyone hollering about Smallville promotion….Ausiello posted the first 1-minute teaser of the new season today, and it looks awesome. I’m sure it will be on-the-air tonight.

[...] The CW is afraid that we can see through their not-so-intelligent programming for the fall, so they’re going to use sex to sell their shows (e.g. the quasi-nude posters for The Beautiful Life). Perhaps Smallville and Supernatural will be taking part in these ad campaigns in the near future. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. The TV Addict throws in a Smallville ad for the ladies out there. Not sure if Clark Kent would appreciate having the word ‘Smallville’ plastered in front of his *ahem* (The TV Addict) [...]

You all do realize that this photo was photoshopped using Tom’s head but not his body? Right? It’s the same body used by the white guy in The Beautiful Life pictures, styled exactly the same. Sorry.

We don’t need to see the guys from Supernatural like this……our show is too good for this obviously desperate ploy. Besides, that’s not really Tom’s body.

It’s heavily Photoshoped, it’s most likely his head placed on a model’s body. Not that Tom isn’t in excellent shape, we all know he is, but when it comes to creating promo ads for TV shows and posters for movies, it’s sometimes easier to have a model do all the posing then digitally ad the actor’s heads in than to get the actors to take time out and do it themselves. Still a nice ad though.
