Adhack Celebrates Valentines Day with Romance, Chocolate & Sex (Video Included)

It is Valentines day and for the occasion, James, chief punk of Adhack, created a little assignment for his alphanauts (those are the people part of this secret society) to come up with an ad that reflects romance, sex or both.

The DIY (Do It Yourself) ads came in quite fast so here they are:

** Chocolate Love:

** M & Ms Valentine’s Ad --
http://adhack2.com/public/detail/2443-1177
** Potted Love --

Have a favourite? Share it! Email a link. Show it to friends. Blog it. Add it to your Facebook / MySpace page. StumbleUpon it. Digg it. Let the world know!

But now, Adhack is opening this up to even more lovers. Yes, that is right! Adhack is opening the gates to Adhack Alpha. Therefore, if you are in love, or think love is a good thing, here is what you can do:

1 - Invite friends to join Adhack. We’ve created a welcome page so they get the skinny: http://adhack2.com/public/welcome

2 - Make an ad. We’re getting more interest all the time. So we’re going public. Nuts to this ‘private alpha’ business. We’ll rock with what we got.

And public means we’ll be selling the ads. You may make some scratch. You may earn glory. You’ll only know if you make an ad.

3 - Official AdHack Materials, like a Press Release, below, if you need to describe AdHack to anyone.

Chocolates for your love on Valentine’s Day? Some people say chocolate is an aphrodisiac. But according to research, 6 out of 10 women prefer chocolates to sex. Can this be true? AdHack, a community of designers, photographers and creators, is spicing things up this Valentine’s Day with a racy advertising for chocolate lovers.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) February 14, 2008—Chocolates for your love on Valentine’s Day? Some people say chocolate is an aphrodisiac. But according to research, 6 out of 10 women prefer chocolates to sex. Can this be true?

Perhaps the Scots know best. According to the Scotsman, they prefer sex over chocolate.

Is it because European advertising is sexier than North American advertising?

If Valentine’s is about love, romance and feeling sexy, why are the advertisements so boring?

Love is never boring.

That’s why the AdHack community decided to spice things up this Valentine’s Day.
AdHack is a community of designers, photographers and creators who are pushing the advertising envelope.

Have a look at the “Chocolate Love” ad created by AdHack member Giant Ant Media.
http://adhack2.com/public/detail/2444-1177

The Assignment:
Create an ad for the best romance item ever received.

The Chocolate Love Ad Concept:
Giant Ant Media says “Pretty simple. We wanted to make a connection between chocolate and romance, and chocolate as an aphrodisiac but without using people. By using the chocolates, the video is still racy, which we wanted, but not crude and still retains a ‘cuteness’ about it. This video could work as an ad for a chocolate company (Purdy’s/Lindt), or even for a brand that sells ‘romantic’ goods (Oh My/Kama Sutra).”

“Chocolate Love” is a short, stop-motion animation, shot on a light box. 367 Frames.

1. Researchers have discovered that chocolate produced some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two, but can’t remember what they are.

3. Adhack seems to be a very good program indeed. I feel that it is very similar to ebay. But any idea as to what differentiates between them? the advertisements there are too good and attractive too

9. This is a welcome avenue to those who wants to advertise in a jiffy but with a class of its own.

10. Creating a good advertisement takes courage. But for me, truth in advertising should always be at the forefront. For food to be effective, it should always point to the healthy approach of its offering.
