Who knew that Rentboy was good for more than just finding luggage handlers?
Jake Shears has taken marketing music with sex one step further by using a Rentboy.com to pimp out his band’s, Sissor Sister’s upcoming album, Nightwork. The absolutely brillant Rentboy profile actually presents Shears as the personification of their upcoming album, listing his talents as “stripping and gogo dancing” and his rate as “$11.99 USD.”
With the constant bombardment of advertising in magazines and the internet, it seems like a clever marketing strategy whose target audience will find funny and smart. Kudos. Jake! (And I’d SO hit that for 11.99 USD plus tax.)
