I am sure you have all heard the AshleyMadison.com commercials on he radio. If you have not the tag line is “Life is short, have an affair”. That pretty much sums up their service. Their commercial was rejected for the superbowl, however it managed to slip on to the airwaves in Texas.
Ashley Madison CEO, Noel Biderman, was quoted by PRNewswire as saying “In Texas, men love their football and women love to cheat!” LOL! Texas is their largest market with over 200k members. The site boasts over 3 Million members in total! That’s a lot of cheating!
Well here is the commercial, it’s actually quite funny…

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ — Online Adultery Agency, AshleyMadison.com, managed to slip their new commercial into the Super Bowl after being formally rejected by the NFL and NBC from airing nationwide.
Determined to get his new commercial into the big game, AshleyMadison.com CEO, Noel Biderman, slipped under the radar and aired his new controversial ad in Texas of all places! Biderman specifically chose Texas to run his new female-targeted commercial because (as he so eloquently puts it) “In Texas, men love their football and women love to cheat!”
According to Biderman, “The effects of the current recession are so profound that many local stations were willing to accept Ashley Madison advertising dollars even in this post ‘wardrobe malfunction’ Super Bowl climate.”
Despite minimal efforts at advertising in the lone star state previously, Texas has steadily remained Ashley Madison’s fastest growing market with over 200,000 members signed up to their Infidelity Service in just the past two years. As a result, AshleyMadison.com plans on spending millions in the state this year.
“In this current economic climate,” adds Biderman, “Divorce isn’t an option for many women who are stuck in unhappy marriages. We want them to know there’s a service just for them. AshleyMadison.com”
The notorious site currently boasts over 3.2 million members with a new member signing up every 20 seconds. Ashley Madison went mainstream in 2008 when they began airing their previous commercial on CNN, ESPN, Fox News and MSNBC. This new commercial is the first time they’ve ever been allowed to advertise before 9 pm.
