Target those ads, please!

Sometimes, I get a real good laugh about the advertisement banners shown throughout the internet. One thing is to see a porn ad here and there – you get used to that and you rarely see the same ad twice. There is one coincidence though, which is just too stupid.

Be-mag.com is a European skate magazine – print and on the web. Its visitors are 99% male in the age of 14-24 and come from all over the world – but dominately from the U.S.. Now… the last month or so, there has been a permanent banner ad for an Austrian female’s website: Seite der Frau.

This is just hilarious. I think this probably the most mis-targeted advertisement campaign I’ve seen in a while.
What’s the idea of showing an ad like that? It can’t possibly be for the hit-count?

    :) The day after I wrote this post, they finally changed :) – but to a Volvo advertisement. Wonder how many teenagers can afford one?
    If you don’t have a possibility of targeting the ads – then don’t use the ads at all. Please!
