It's a perfect example of people without a clue about effective marketing. Marketing 101 says sex sells, NOT overwhelm your product with sex. Seriously, who remembers details about their program? Who actually read the page?
More importantly, it sends a message that they are trying to get as affiliates 14 year olds who've never seen one of those.
On the positive side, it does offer a reminder that marketing is not about getting attention. It's about getting attention to your product in a solid, effective light.
Good lesson in bad marketing.
