Sex, Clowns and Web Traffic
Walking around the floor there is an overwhelming sense of profesionalism. Last year I wrote about how many booth babes there were and the overwhelming sex sells feeling at Adtech. We all noticed it. As I walked around the floor last evening people were all deciding what party they were going to. I saw my friend Andrew who was headed over to ValueClick while some others were staying at Moscone because it was close. And still others were rumbling out to Girls Gone Wild. Everyone seems to be enjoying the caliber of the conference but are also looking forward to titilation in the evening.
A poker site was having a party at the Bubble Lounge being promoted by the clown. I happened to walk by the clown and his buddy promoting. The clown came on to me. I am not sure if he comes on to everyone but he told me he was a sexy clown which his friend comfirmed. The velvet pants with bikini panty lines do not fit my idea of sexy but I am sure there is a fetish in theres somewhere. The clown was convinced he could do it for me. He kept repeating in his heavy accent “I can do it for you,” with that weird joker smile still painted on his face. He bent over, and I became frightened. I was not sure what was happening. He did a sort of handstand where he put his knees on his elbows and had his butt in the air. He exclaimed, “I am doing it for you. I am doing it for you.” All I could think of was “Buddy you are so not doing it for me.”
At the party a guy walked up to me and gave me a business card. He said he would really like to hear from me and added that I was beautiful. I wondered how much of netoworking was a pick up scene. The party was trying to hard which seemed to be the theme of the evening.
I left with some other friends to get something to eat we stopped by a couple of the parties and found that many were empty early. Then we went by the girls gone wild party where there was a two hour wait to get in if you are guy. It was a fantastic marketing ploy to get guys aware of the new girls gone wild product. They leveraged the conference to get the word out and created a buzz. So sex sold once again.
