So, um, there's an IGN add on PSOW involving a woman in a bondage outfit. What do hot chicks have to do with what they're advertising?

No boobies. I've been lied to.

Absolutely nothing. Sex appeal is just one of the many methods of advertising. Just like using glue for milk in cereal commercials and painting turkeys to make them look better.

Other common ways to try to get you to buy stuff are the bandwagon approach ("Everybody does it, why don't you!?") and celebrity endorsement.

I have to admit, it worked quite well at getting my attention. Though, I don't know why they'd want me in that state of mind...

You were duped. However, you were promised no boobie. Next time make sure there is at least a sample boobie in the banner. Lesson learned.

It's not bondage gear, it's merely leather. Besides, that particular ad is a play on words. "Have I Got a Job for You", and then it says "Check out IGN's New Job Board!" in the next frame. Next time don't be lulled into an obvious attention getter.

I don't see the ad anywhere, though I did get a vista one for parental controls XD One of those kind were you have to click "Continue to wherever" to move past it

IGN does seem to have a bunch of women/sex sells ads around from the few times I go over there. It trickled down here, but don't come here for your boobie quota.
