Title: X10's new low
Post by: nybuck on October 01, 2010, 04:38:20 PM
For years the loyal X10 fans have been commenting on the overuse of sexually suggestive ads that X10 uses to try and sell more products.  We all commented favorably a few months back when the ads seemed to take a turn toward being more professional.  The latest ad has taken several steps backward in my opinion:
http://www.x10.com/products/0927sale.html (http://www.x10.com/products/0927sale.html)

OK, they have the scantily-clad woman pictured on the phone...  But look just below that...  They have cameras strategically placed in the bedroom, facing the bed; the living room, facing the couch; the basement; and the bathroom.  B:(

Do any of us really hide cameras facing the bed and toilet?   ???

C'mon, X10.  Let's get out of the sewer, and join the rest of us in the gutter.

Maybe they are trying to say. You can monitor your cameras even when busy in the bathroom bedroom or cellar.  ;D

You know, I just read the paragraph below it...  Maybe you're right...   ;)

Yes but....

1. She's not so hot. Kinda has that crack addict - needs a sandwich look.
2. $19.00 for AH and a CM15!? - Ok now! - Oh I have that.... :'(

1 - Sorry, pal, but I gotta disagree there.   ;)
2 - Yeah! Great deal!   :o  But I have one already, too...   :'(

But, although I may have been a little off base with this post, I think the suggestion is there with the pictures of these areas that light up sequentially, like you were scanning from camera to camera.

I also am greatful that there are two new X10 products that are pretty high-tech.   #:)

Looks like Lindsay Lohan after the judge smacked the gavel.   :'

I don't mind the slightly suggestive stuff so much. X10 really has turned their Web Page around.... and I am thankful they did. And it's nice to see ANY new automation product as far as I am concerned. The cell phone products are AWESOME COOL (although admittedly.. I haven't used them yet). My phone is rarely more than arms reach from me.

I will say this, that house looks a lot better on the inside than the outside.  :D

I used the link in nybuck's  post and I didn't see any "scantily-clad woman pictured on the phone" or any other scantily-clad woman.

Great power of observation...  That is another good theft-deterrent.  Who would think of breaking in there?   :)%
