We were playing around with some ad concepts as part of a strategic alliance we have with PRO-LAB, but this one was too sexist even for us.

Agreed?

Was that too sexist or too stupid?

None of the girls I ever dated had a FAVORITE MOLD TYPE. ![icon_eek.gif](upload://yuxgmvDDEGIQPAyP9sRnK0D0CCY.gif) Maybe that's why I broke up with them

On the employee data sheet under what excites me about my job she says “Talking to a man about his elevated samples”. I think that is a little overboard. We do have women inspectors. I think the NACHettes are pushing it.

I agree with Deanna, the NACHettes are probably the edge of the envelope.

I also agree with Deanna. This ad is inappropriate and unprofessional, and that’s an understatement. It has nothing to do with home inspecting and is utterly tasteless.

Nick:


Please take the ad down. It is not appropriate. I have received similiar responses to the NACHETTES as well at the last Educational event we had in Fort Lauderdale.

I am writing this as a member of the MAB.

Maybe we should have a vote about the NACHettes. Not everyone wants to see half naked girls serving nachos, including me. icon_redface.gif

Where do you see a half naked girl?


Where is this being used as an advertisement?

Sorry, but I don't see the problem. To much political correctness is a bad thing!

No Deanna, I’m not lost. Sorry, but I like half naked woman serving me nacho’s. If this were a man doing the same ad would this be an issue? Face it sex sells, always has always will!

The NACHettes will be serving free nachos!

By the look of their shirts I could take one guess of what their shorts look like. Remind me one more time of what this has to do with a home inspectors convention.

There's a time and place for everything, and sex should not be used to sell anything in an industry that has nothing to do with sex. You don't want to potentially lose business by being offensive, do you?

OK Chuck we could go on and on about this. Yes, it would be a problem if any half naked person serving me nachos at a home inspectors convention it is a hygiene issue. You dont know where thoughts hands have been.
