His brave attempts of dancing solo in nothing but his underwear definitely caught many students&#8217; attention, something which is pretty hard considering the number of advertisements we get exposed to on a daily basis. Unfortunately for him, i grabbed the piece of pamphlet informing me of used book sales but i threw that paper away at the nearest garbage bin. His admirable effort is wasted. I wouldnt even have remembered what the paper said if not for reading it in hyundeok&#8217;s blog. <\/p>\n<p>I agree that many shops now use interesting ways to attract consumers&#8217; attention.

Whenever a new shop has its first opening, there will definitely be male models present. Whether this is an inappropriate use of marketing depends on the individual customers. <\/p>\n<p>As for me, well i have no complains.<br \/>\nAn extra eye candy wont hurt.<br \/>\nAnd it seems to be garnering more and more exposure for the company effectively increasing their market share. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read hyundeok&#8217;s blog and funny enough, I was the &#8220;friend&#8221; who she was walking with on campus when we both came across a man scantily dressed, dancing on a podium in the cold vancouver weather.
