iGasm, uGasm, weAllgasm.

Sex toys just got a whole lot more trendy. But the debate about this one isn’t should or shouldn’t. It’s about stealing the advertising campaign of a product for the sake of promoting a related product.

The poster shown here is a prime example for the allegedly stolen content. Apple has been using the silhouetted figure of people dancing to music in their prime campaign for their iPod.

Apple wants the stores to remove all posters for iGasm and hopes that removing iGasm ads will prevent them from taking further actions. “Apple lawyers claim the poster is a blatant rip-off of its famous iPod silhouette images,” reports PC Advisor.

People have been making products relating to other products directly for years. But to use the same advertising gimmicks for placing the product does go a little far in my book. I can see why Apple is mad. This makes it look like it’s one of their products which it isn’t.

So where do you draw the line? How much of a concept can a person take before it goes to far?

I think that this one went too far.
