I Bet That Copy Would Sell For Thousands On eBay

[Jared Kaufman]

Apparently, this guy (http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2006/05/pete-wentz-is-has-tool.html) doesn't realize the new Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy (http://www.absolutepunk.net/falloutboy)) "n00dz" are a promotional add for The Hush Sound (http://www.absolutepunk.net/thehushsound)'s new album, Like Vines. Either way, if you haven't seen the ad yet, you can check it out there.

[em0_stars]

Love it. They should ebay the cd that touched his junk

Haha. I seriously just changed my title to that the second you posted this. Wow.

[AloneInTheDark]

That kind of sucks for The Hush Sound, a smack in the face kind of.

[trustmeimokay]

Ridiculous. I love that ad.

[em0_stars]

Haha. I seriously just changed my title to that the second you posted this. Wow.


good call!

i feel loved

[Jared Kaufman]

good call!

i feel loved
I'm kinda worried we thought the same exact thing at the same exact time. Haha.

[em0_stars]

I'm kinda worried we thought the same exact thing at the same exact time. Haha.

hahah i hope they do it as part of a christy auction

and i'm not worried....i'm aroused.

[the sob]

pete is awesome becasause he embrasses the fact that people talk so much shit about him. Love the new hush sound.

[naphtha74]

ah huh

" [B]the moral of the story: if you really dont want pictures of yourself to end up on the internet. dont take the pictures. [blah, blah, blah, incoherent crap]""

not bias at all

[handofgod]

thats lovely and all... but wheres the interview?

ps its not pete wentz n00dz, its p33ngate

[Roboman]

I still think that Pete doing this is just fucking stupid. I really don't need to see any other guys pubes unless it's absolutely necessary (in this instance, it is not).

[SevenOhThree]

Fall Out Boy is an alright band, I guess, and I can't even stand all the bullshit drama that Pete surrounds himself in-- But, even I can admit that he's kinda hot. I enjoyed these. Ha.

[Jared Kaufman]

I still think that Pete doing this is just fucking stupid. I really don't need to see any other guys pubes unless it's absolutely necessary (in this instance, it is not).
When is it ever necessary to see a guy's pubes?

[SummerxStars]

a lot of people dont get the joke. its all over gossip journals that normally post about paris hilton.

[XpunkXroutineX]

wow...sounds like a bunch of homophobic dudes at that site.

[Jay We Fall]

i think its fucking hilarious and i gotta say pete wentz has a great mind for marketing. this is from a dude that doesnt listen to fall out boy. in response to the dude who said that sucks for hush sound, hush sound is on petes label, im sure he cleared this with them first, and they probably think its hilarious as well. besides, who hasnt taken naked photos of yourself? i know ive done way more fucked up shit than that...

[howdydoody]

screaming "gay" from a male is always a defense mechanism to deal with envy.
Wentz Bitz are hot, regardless.

[TommyGunn]

pete is awesome becasause he embrasses the fact that people talk so much shit about him. Love the new hush sound.

what?

[XpunkXroutineX]

in those pete wentz interviews someone should've asked about his size. lol

[nicolerork]

That post provided me some morning lolz.

[The Revisionist]

Clearly he intended for these to get out so he could help push the sales of that CD he's rubbing on his junk, so I'm just going to finish this post by saying it's okay Pete is gay, and he's trying to get his gay fans to buy that other gay band's CD by doing gay poses in these picturesI think the person who posted this in their blog does know it is promotion for the Hush Sound CD.

[AbeLurkin]

besides, who hasnt taken naked photos of yourself? i know ive done way more fucked up shit than that...

umm, weird dude. i can honestly say ive never done that.'
who's with me?

[pasthefence49]

pete wentz is so highly overrated im sick of it

[Jared Kaufman]

I think the person who posted this in their blog does know it is promotion for the Hush Sound CD.
Um, that doesn't mean he realize it's an ACTUAL promotional ad. He thinks that he just took more pics with the CD hoping it'd get out (based on the way he talks, phrases things, etc.) For example, "clearly he intended for these to get out..." Well, duh, they're advertisements! That's what leads me to believe the guy didn't really get it.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Annoying add. I've talked to many people already who said they won't check out the CD now because of this ridiculousness, which is unfortunate because I love the Hush Sound.

[cooltoy]

Wow this dude is probably one of the most ignorant people on earth. He used the word gay 10 times in the last paragraph.

I bet he got done with his little tyraid and sat in his recliner and yelled at his wife, "Bitch go make me a pot pie"

[dubey]

pete wentz is so highly overrated im sick of it
Overrated at what exactly?

[joz]

i thought it was quite funny.,.

[cahrishurr]

Annoying add. I've talked to many people already who said they won't check out the CD now because of this ridiculousness, which is unfortunate because I love the Hush Sound.

i dont like the hush sound but thats pretty ridiculous that some people wont check out their new cd because of this.....

[resUrectMe617]

i've seen some risque ads, but pete wentz isn't really the person i'd want in one of them. this is kind of weird. funny, but weird.

[Jared Kaufman]

Annoying add. I've talked to many people already who said they won't check out the CD now because of this ridiculousness, which is unfortunate because I love the Hush Sound.
That's weird, I usually love products with silly/ridiuclous advertisements. Either way, people like that really bug me because it's such ridiculous thinking. Why take a chance on missing out on a record you might possibly love just because you don't like the ad? I'd never refrain from trying a beer or establishment just because they have ads I find to be stupid.

[resUrectMe617]

i dont like the hush sound but thats pretty ridiculous that some people wont check out their new cd because of this.....

not necessarily. there are definitely people who are turned off by certain advertisements right off the bat that actually swear off the product that is being promoted. such as a racist or sexist ad (none come to mind right now)...because obviously people don't like the association that is being made in the advertisement. sometimes ads like that do the exact reverse intention, instead of wanting them to buy it (by having some athletle endorse the product), sometimes it backfires and the association just isn't cool anymore. i don't have any off the top of my head, but i have heard of actual instances. its ridiculous yes, but not unheard of.

[CradlingxHatred]

Yeah, it is funny.
And a pretty good marketing approach, too.

:shrugs: It's bad publicity, I think. Tongue in cheek or not, someone who doesn't know the whole ordeal might be offended. And even someone who might know the ordeal just might think it's ridiculous.

I mean, there's only two ways it can go. An add that extreme, for lack of a better term, will either draw people in or push people away. I can't stand the "Destroy Corporate Rock" adds for all of the Victory Records bands, so I just won't give them the time of day. This could be the same way.

That, or the collalition of evil catholic mothers will strike again.
Whether you like the ad or not, it definatly is crude. I can totally see this pissing people off. A lot.

people who won't check out the album simply for THAT reason are idiots and don't deserve to listen to the hush sound anyway

[DroppedUrPocket]

Blame Petey Wentz! haha.

[cole]

pete should autograph all of those pics and then send them to the "angry mother" in SC or wherever it was

[KidLightning]

Blame Petey Wentz! haha.
I won't blame him at all, in fact i laud him adamantly. I thought the ad was hilarious and a great way to make fun of a situation people are STILL talking about and get people to talk about the ad (thus spreading it around) and consequently the album.

And what I was trying to say earlier was that I'd rather not have people like that listening to the Hush Sound. They should stick to Ashley Parker Angel or some other crap and leave the good music to those who won't judge its artistic integrity on ONE obviously tongue-in-cheek, flippant ad.

[Kif]

I read IDLYITW regularly, and I thought it was hilarious. I think Pete is a moron for even making those photos, since it's a pretty bad marketing campaign for a great band.

[audiolove]

of COURSE you would post this jared ;)
teeeheeeheee <3

Does anyone else think that Pete Wentz looks like Billy Zane?

how is it a bad marketing campaign? it takes an existing pop-culture "phenomenon" and turns it on its head, exploiting its controversy for a positive use in promoting an album. Its nearly a textbook example of viral marketing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing), and what people like that homophobic trash-talker at IDLYITW, as you affectionately call it, don't get is that writing about it and re-posting the pictures is exactly the type of response that is expected and they're actually helping out the ad/album/band they're mocking by exposing many people to it who would otherwise probably be completely unaware.

[GDSP]

Yeah, not everyone obsesses all day over bands that are really lame and the Fred Durst's that signed them, so yeah, he probably just plain doesn't get it.

No, its called overexposing yourself, when people already think you're really dumb. Its also called hogging the spotlight and using your band's print ad to revel in some retarded inside joke. The sad thing is that kid's might actually buy more cds because of this, which really is a shame.

[teenage riot]

bad marketing campaign? Look at how many posts this thread has gotten so far. Look at all the gossip sites that have posted about it. It's up on Spin.com Seems like it's working to me

it would be good marketing, except for the fact that a large portion of the FBR listening population is preteens, and I dont know how many preteen parents enjoy their kids checking out ads with a dude covering his dong with a cd case

[KidLightning]

I would say that a significant portion of FOB's listening population is preteens, but that very few of them could tell you what label that band is on/has been on, what Fueled By Ramen is, and that the only other bands on that label they could name are P!ATD and The Academy Is... and probably couldn't tell you what record label they're on. And this ad obviously wasn't targeted at those kids anyway, given its adult content, and most of them probably wouldn't "get it" anyway.

oh, and did anyone replying to me actually read about what viral marketing is? This is EXACTLY it.

Um, I'm sure The Hush Sound gave the go ahead for this. Second, I highly doubt we can call this an "inside joke" with how much exposure this has been given; this is just as "inside" as X-Men 3 coming out tomorrow.

[mulletsrfunny]

1. I think it's funny.

2. Only becuase I'm anal and I've seen it way too many times on this site: "ad" = advertisement, "add"= addition, as in plus, as in math.

Thanks.

Seriously. If your friends aren't going to check it out because of this, they probably weren't going to check it out anyways. Tell them a bedtime story, and promise them it'll be ok. It's just a fun joke to help one group of friends push another group of friends material.

Good one. You're full of wit, aren't ya, lil' buddy?

I actually think Pete is a normal human being, hence the reason I find it strangely odd that you obsess over something such as his pictures and/or this promotional campagin. Maybe there's a deep dark secret within you that you're trying to keep buried tight and quiet so no one ever knows...

I'm sorry I find it ridiculous that so many people, including yourself, find the need to attack, hate, etc. a person you've never met; god forbid I'd want to defend a friend that gets a ton of unnecessary grief, right? I defend anyone I'm related to, close to, cool with, etc.

If you spent five mintues with the dude you'd realize he's just like you, your friends or any guy you know. I'm sure you do far worse in your life and are (based on everything you've said in this thread) a bigger asshat than one would normally want to deal with, so cut some people some slack, oh Holy One.

And you're an example of people on this board not having a sense of humor and treating conversations about fallout boy's marketing plan like a speech and debate tournament. Jared does that too. He "proved me wrong?" What the heck? And c'mon, tell me you don't imagine Jared spending all day dusting his Pete Wentz shrine. Funny.

Haha. I hope you realize Fall Out Boy is by no means my favorite band, or even in my top ten. I don't know why I feel the need to explain, but whatever. I own both records, yes, and I thoroughly enjoy both. Yes, I'm also good friends with Pete. Now, I don't know why me defending my friend (like I'd do for any of my friends) means I have to have a "shrine." Do you not stand-up for people that you like, are close to, and so forth, especially when it's non-stop, a bit extreme and at times uncalled for?

Geez, random sentence fragments picked out of a hat? I'm not following that...
I don't mean to be picking on Jared or whoever this Finch guy is, but I think we can all agree, whether we're absolute best friends and blood brothers for life with Pete or not, that he's acting like a tool.
Its really nice for you to stand up for your soulmate/bosom buddy and everything, but c'mon, you have to admit when he's acting like the pop world's equivalent of Paris Hilton.

[YourMusicSucks]

Thats a great add idea.

[JarettEast]

Whether or not you like Pete or Fall Out Boy is not the issue. The ad only leads to stories about the original pictures that someone "hacked" from his sidekick. And that leads to me seeing his junk, which I have no interest in seeing. I am sure parents don't want their kids seeing that either.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers posed for Rolling Stone with just their hands over their units. Fortunately that didn't lead to me seeing any pictures of Flea's jimmy.

[elvis]

Um, that doesn't mean he realize it's an ACTUAL promotional ad. He thinks that he just took more pics with the CD hoping it'd get out (based on the way he talks, phrases things, etc.) For example, "clearly he intended for these to get out..." Well, duh, they're advertisements! That's what leads me to believe the guy didn't really get it.

this dude is definitely bias and his hatred for Wentz is obvious, but i still think this guy knew it was an advertisement. i also hate Jared Kauffman and Pete Wentz even more now. oh and this guy is definitely right about Wentz being gay, there's no way he likes girls.

[ForeverInADay]

When is it ever necessary to see a guy's pubes?
hahahaha that was my first thought hahahaha

[screamoutmyname]

I just saw this ad in AP magazine and it made me want to listen to the Hush Sound even less.

[Bury Your Head]

pete wentz shaves his pubes.

itll sell thier albums, they were definatly cool with the idea

myself, i don't like fall out boy. their songs just don't "do it" for me, but i don't harbor that insecure hatred of them like many other people (particularly on this board), and I think the fact that he's willing to make laugh at his mistake like that is awesome.

but i don't think that's going to start making me like "dance dance"

[ishotthepilot]

I won't blame him at all, in fact i laud him adamantly. I thought the ad was hilarious and a great way to make fun of a situation people are STILL talking about and get people to talk about the ad (thus spreading it around) and consequently the album.

Does anyone else think that Pete Wentz looks like Billy Zane?

yes and yes.

[3GunGaz]

I got here fashionably late....

REGARDLESS... of how humorous he finds it, and how much attention he knows it will get, I have seen Pete Wentz on numerous occasions acknowledge that a huge portion of FOB's audience is under age. Therefore he knows full well that they are going to see this and that's just a bit wrong. Don't get me wrong, I think it's funny and I admire him for taking the piss out of himself but he has a responsibility not to do things like that. Did he ask for underage fans? Probably not, but he has them and should act accordingly. Now .. this is weird for me to say this because I've always been of the "I hope the bands I like are crude, loudmouth rockstars" persuasion but...... at some point you have to realise you have to act responsibly when there's kids involved.
