    On Monday September 26th, MSN UK users will see a completely blacked out screen with a single light switch that illuminates to reveal the Specsavers marketing message.

    You've been warned! ;)

    Specsavers, Europe's largest retail provider of home delivery contact lenses, chose MSN for its demographic audience, particularly the over-35 target group. The ad campaign will be supported by additional targeted activity on MSN Messenger and MSN Hotmail from 27 September for two weeks until 9 October.

    ^^ Got that of www.mess.be. Odd eh?

ARGH! If I found out who approved that advert for T.V, I'd punch them in their eyeballs so they'd NEED to go to SpecSavers!

    I'll be surprised when advertising methods start de-evolving, like using fax machines to send telemarketing. For now, I wouldnt be surprised if they started sticking adverts on viruses and program updates :p

    Just to clarify, this is only for the msn.co.uk portal, and not MSN messenger.

    I presume it will just be some kind of flash execution.

    It just shows the level companies are now willing to go to avoid the clutter on the web.

    I guess they want to make a spectacle of themselves.... arf
