I’m not complaining, but some of the ads being paired with some of the content on Brightcove’s Syndication Marketplace may need some rethinking.
This lovely lady is doing a full-nude striptease (we’ve altered the image), along with an Office Depot advertisement promising “Free Delivery.” Which on second thought may be a brilliant idea.
If you’d like to see the evidence for yourself, the not-safe-for-work video is here, or just do a search for “new test” in the marketplace.
And if you’re looking for the closest Office Depot, you can find it here.
the link looks better with the adblock plugin
Hahhaha! I saw an ad for citizen journalism. But what ad could you possibly pair with “Veronica Strips”? I did a view source but no keywords, so Adap.TV couldn’t possibly contextualize..
Here in the UK I got an advert for “FREE SLOT SPINS”. Insert your own punchline here.
Was this an anonymous tip or some late night stip-tease browsing?
This misconception must be repaired by the ads video provider.Maybe the nude girl attracted,but paired with noting related to the video is not a good ethics.Should target the ads that can convert the people who see it.Means, the people who really need it.
That’s why all major video sites still can’t find its profit and is bleeding hard on infrastructure, power, server, bandwidth cost and other capital expenditures. Most advertisers don’t want to be in the hot water and only a few would be suitable for these amateur videos.
What ads? All I saw was a beautiful girl! Oh, I have Privoxy turned on. Oops!
Classic!
it’s n’t so pro idea!
I’d totally staple that…
This is the issue with inventory bought and sold in bulk to get meaningful reach: indiscriminate matching, which translates in badly performing ads. We have seen contextual ad targeting performing very poorly on video and shallow audience profiling is an issue across the board. It does not have to be that way. Now, if Brightcove wants to give TagLift a try…
This is what I’ve been saying all along, people in marketing departments need to take off the gloves and just go all in. You see, if every person that sent spam to my email account also added nude photos, I would probably actually read my emails. Keep up the good work Office Max, haha.
To bad she doesn’t work for Staples then you could just use the “Easy” button…..
Things that get in the way of content are annoying and are just the same as popup ads. If I see an add like that I boycott the company.
But it is the same thing with most ads. 99% of ads are useless and a lot of times they don’t have to be.
Still everyone and his mom wants to make an adnetwork but I have yet to see anything truly innovative where a user is going to say, man that was useful.
Most ads suck ass…
PornCrunch.
great mike, you had to go and spoil it for everyone. i had to watch the whole thing to find out that they’ve removed the office depot ad. thanks a lot
Seem like brigthcove just breached their own terms and conditions:

a naked girl, an advertisement, “shop now”! sounds like pimping!(sponsored by office depot)
Sure that wasn’t intentional? I stopped and checked out the video because of the hot girl, I wouldn’t have cared if it was strictly a video more appropriately boring to Home Depot.
a sign of desperation considering the ‘news’.. how the mighty are falling:
