Paris Hilton"s Devassa Beer Ad Causes An Stir In Brazil

If hot and spicy women in Brazilian beaches are anything to go by, Brazil's advertising watchdog is not having any of that on TV. It has said the ad devalues women, specially the blond ones!
The ad is not problematic because Paris Hilton's lack of clothes but the sensual nature of the ad.
have no idea how to measure sensuality but I had to search for a bikini on some of the women I saw on Brazilian beaches, they were so small.
Devassa Beer Ad has already done the intended purpose. Here is the ad, you decide.

Driving Hispanic Auto Consumers To Your Site

I have been wanting to purchase a new car for a while now but every time I am about to buy, there is a set back. One or other recall, auto maker hiding facts from consumers are making my purchase no sooner. They need to get in front of customers and make them trust the great American cars trustworthy again, no matter what make they are.
Auto industry is currently facing crisis and looking for come backs, advertising and reaching customers effectively play a major factor, in making your product stand out! But are they missing a major portion of the buyers in the web medium?
Large fraction of the industry, the Hispanic auto buyers seem to be researching the products on the web,
92% of Hispanic new-vehicle buyers visited an automaker site or a 3rd Party site (such as Edmunds.com or Cars.com) prior to their vehicle purchase, compared to 84% of the general Internet population, representing a major opportunity for automakers, 3rd Party sites, and Dealers.
But that is the tip of the ice berg, they are more engaged in finding their targets through the web, they search for their goods on major search engines. With the information found, they make educated purchases.
So this should be a good opportunity and time for auto makers from all walks of productions to speak Spanish, and read a wider audience to hawk their products.
