‘Middle England’ to be offered soft porn promotion

A MARKETING plan by a major Scottish newspaper aims to win readers in ‘Middle England’ by giving away a soft porn video.

Were the reader-vouchers-for-free-DVD campaign to succeed, it would go some way to reversing a trend which has seen ‘tartanised’ editions of London-based titles these last few years establish a strong circulation foothold in Scotland.

The plan is being treated as top secret by executives at the as-yet-unknown title.

But a source has told allmediascotland.com that it could be as early as this weekend when it is unveiled.

Said the source: ”Of course, it’s a poor, silly fad, but you never know: it’s so outrageous, it might just possibly work.”
