Goo Grief!

If you’re passing by Yonge & Dundas Square anytime soon, you may need to do a double take. A curious billboard erected above the Hard Rock Café building reads: “Release the Goo.” No, it’s not a call to arms from Dimitri the Lover to his pervy protégés. It’s actually a bizarre new ad campaign for Cadbury Creme Eggs. If you think the billboard’s scandalous, check out the website’s tag line: “Cadbury Creme Eggs really want to get their goo out. And if you don’t do it for them, they will.” Yeesh.
Thanks to reader Andy Caron for the tip.

    Smart campaign. The economy is booming, so I’ll just run out and buy a bunch of those eggs at $2 a pop and then instead of eating them, I’ll huck them at a billboard.

    Suddenly I am filled with the desire to suck off a Cadbury Creme Egg. Then it will tell me I’m not kinky enough and I need to be more “open” and secure in my sexuality and after two months of hell we’ll break up and run into each other awkwardly in Yonge Dundas square. Yeah. Great product, Cadbury.
