Raven Riley Is Trying To Sell Us Something

And speaking of creative experiments in porn-related advertising today ... well, we're not exactly sure what Raven Riley is trying to advertise in this curious collection of clips on view at RavenRiley.tv. See, the site tells us that they're simply videos in which Raven talks about some of her favorite products, and in that regard we guess she does a decent job of telling us why she thinks things like Sun Chips, Oil Of Olay, and Lipton Pasta are so great (though we have to admit it'll take a lot more to convince us about Lipton Pasta). On the other hand, it sure is an odd way to sell memberships to one's adult website, if in fact that's what this project is trying to do--esecially since Raven keeps all (or most) of her clothes on throughout. Since we couldn't stop clicking until we had watched all of the nearly two dozen spots, however, we guess her pitches are pretty effective at least where strengthening Raven's own brand is concerned. Is this what marketing types mean when they talk about advertising that's "sticky"?
