Local domain name reseller Crazy Domains has got itself into a spot of bother with the Ad Standards Bureau about its advertisement featuring Pamela Anderson and much custard.

‘Oh dear’ is a new section on APC devoted to, shall we say, the lighter side of some of the more infamous occurrences in Australia’s technology sector.

It looks like local domain name reseller Crazy Domains has got itself into a spot of bother with the Advertising Standards Bureau about its advertisement (below) featuring former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.

The video stars what we believe is supposed to be your typical lazy office IT geek in a board meeting with the boss — Pam — and her seductive brunette secretary, but quickly degenerates into full body bikini shots of the pair rubbing cream all over each other.

Apparently quite a few people have complained (full report at ARN) that the ad has nothing to do with domain names. We’re not disputing that call. But that has never stopped anyone in the domain name industry. Remember Larry Bloch’s CeBIT nurses?

Oh dear.

I think the ad would have been funnier if Pam and secretary actually had started stripping off and lathering up with cream after he fantasised about it during the meeting. Just saying.

Pamela would be better placed advertising Tuppaware.

You have to hand it to the ad agency though - they've managed to score some free publicity via the APC web site!

The complaints are about it having nothing to do with domains? WTF? Half the ads on TV have nothing to do with the product... Telstra's Bigpond ads are a story of stupid dads these days. And there's plenty of beer ads that don't have anything to do with beer (Hahn Superdry "Man Brand" series for example).
