Alternative Advertising

I'm actually taking pride in coming up with original ways to to promote certain players I'm trying to off-load. "They" always say that sex and scandals sell. I'm not sure who "they" are, but I'm willing to test this hypothesis in a new advertisement, by including a celebrity scandal.

I'm sure we've all heard of Julio Iglesias. Julio is a Spanish singer who has sold over 300 million albums in 14 languages and released 77 albums. According to Sony Music he is one of the top 10 best selling music artists ever.

While Iglesias rose to international prominence in the 1970s and 1980s as a performer of romantic ballads and as an iconically suave Spanish gentleman, his success has continued as he entered new musical endeavors. Thus far, he has performed approximately 5,000 concerts.

Not many people know that Julio was actually quite a decent football player. In the early sixties, when he was a law student in Madrid, he briefly was goalkeeper for one of Real Madrid's youth teams; however, a 22 September 1963 car crash truncated his footballer's
career.

According to many people, Julio Iglesias has 8 children with
two different wives. However, much to the dismay of Julio, none of them have inherited his passion and talent for football. The Iglesias talent was deemed lost forever.

But ladies and gentleman, I have unearthed the truth. I have found an unknown Iglesias son, one who has inherited his father's football talent. Born out of an affair with a Brazilian beach soccer beauty was a son who was unknown to the world so far.

I present to you: Germán Iglesias. Every bit the suave gentleman his father is, he will almost certainly pull huge crowds of screaming young girls to the stadium.

Please take a chance on young Germán, who just wants a realistic chance to live his fathers dream of becoming a professional football player. Wouldn't you give the lad a chance? If not for his obvious talent, why not for his smooth looks and his ability to charm the female fans?


Here's to hoping this actually pays off...
