UK etailer punts bovine coitus thumb drive An army of online deal seekers has called for a boycott of Boffer.co.uk, after the "daily deal" site fooled them into coveting a non-existent bovine sex device. With each new day, Boffer offers up a single "amazingly low priced" piece of consumer merchandise, and late last night, at 11:59pm Greenwich Mean Time, it tempted …
so right I have just heard of boofer, similar to another site isn't it.
Will people boycott, probably not, it is only at time of purchase where monies exchange is it illegal to do this. Though, I suppose advertisement law could come into play, but frankly look at most ads on the TV no one sells a product, they sell a hypnotic experience ending in a name.
Could a disco CD be construed as a device conducive to conceiving, well boogaloo and dance the light fantastic, who the hell knows for sure - sure it is cynical of them to pick on that desire but there you go how low can you go - the Limbo Rock.
Absolutely. I'd never heard of them until I read this article, now I'm thinking : "Shit, I'd buy stuff off these people just because they gave me a good laugh at the expense of a few really gullible idiots with poor comprehension skills and no sense of humour."
This may be the first company to realise that supercilious, cynical, cruel bastards are a good target demographic for an internet based retailer.
They waffle on about fornication and conception and then the punchline is to send 'em off to youboob for a rickroll?
So a popular, colloquial translation of this message to their customers would be "Fuck off".
Has suicidal marketing been identified as the next big thing while I wasn't paying attention?
well i personally think it was odd.
but there seemed to b a lot of people who are so desperately trying for a baby that they got there hopes up.
they also feel that have been tricked into giving out there details.
although it is done and dusted now. boffer are still taking the micky out of their customers.which is on their site now. i can not see how they can have any respect for their customers by still behaving like this??
What the devil are you people talking about?
This was funny. People who are offended by this are probably the same people that can't figure out where babies come from - so they are looking to a USB stick to do it for them.
You can't build a world where no one gets offended. People should just shut the fuck up when they feel "offended" and move on. God. What whiners.
"but there seemed to b a lot of people who are so desperately trying for a baby that they got there hopes up.

unlike the charleton faith healers and witch doctors who advertise in the back of METRO (c) and the other free local loo papers
If they linked the youtube to a basting syringe sale site, then I'd maybe think it wasnt so cynical
nail a dead vulture to your front door to conceive a BOFH when the moon is full!!
Gotta be yer genetic engineering, innit? Them genetic engineers can breed pink and blue bears from a cow any day of the week, if they feel like it. The Koreans can even do one that glows in the dark. Not sure a freebie USB gadget could do it right now; my guess is Q3 2011.
Innit?
