Not that everything's perfect now, but holy freaking crap! Let's just draw a woman's hot body, decapitate her, and add on the product we're selling where her head used to be (in this case, Hostess Sno-Balls), and continue our sexist ad in the writing below, because the picture doesn't quite say enough! (I'm suddenly having a craving for a well-stacked, cream-filled leggy Sno-Ball!

Stripper, 44, Charges Age Discrimination
Exotic dancer Stripper Kimberlee Ouwroulis filed a complaint against a Gentleman's Club strip joint in Toronto because she claims she was let go due to her age. She started stripping at 40 after a nasty divorce, was doing well monetarily, and had regular customers. But one day, her boss said, "Your time is up here."
This woman is doing nothing for mankind's theory about women drivers. Let's just say I'm glad I wasn't at this convenience store when she was "driving away." In her defense, maybe she thought it was Opposite Day?
I wonder if the physiology info in this 1963 Arrid ad still holds water. Basically, it says that women have two kinds of perspiration, one from physical exertion, and the other from, well, horniness. (The kind Arrid takes care of.) It seems to me they were just banking on the shame of women who didn't want anyone to see that their sexuality was showing.
What's the opposite of subliminal advertising? In-your-face "our product is like a penis that this pretty lady really likes" advertising. Never heard of it?
You can't even get a meal on domestic flights these days, but apparently, the now-defunct Braniff offered practically promised stripping flight attendants. Ah, those were the days! (I guess
Hooters Airlines realized it had a niche to fill.)
I never noticed until Sarah Haskins (my new comedic hero) points it out here, but, ads for birth control pills never talk about their main selling point: you can have sex without getting pregnant! It's always about controlling or eliminating your period. She snarks, "Well, now we don't have to leave the tribe and go sit in that hut for a week.
"Bring breast cancer awareness back to the workplace" sounds too close to "bring sexual harassment back to the workplace" for me to feel comfortable. And trust me, it never left! Thoughts about this Target Breast Cancer Awareness ad?
Ugh, along with the acronym MILF, is there a worse word than "cougar" to describe an older (read: older than 30) woman who remains a sexual being? (I know, I know, cougar describes a woman on the prowl for younger dudes.) In spite of all that, I still think this video is hilarious. I love how, after they define cougar ("an older single woman who frequents clubs and bars looking for innocent young men she can have passionate hate sex with") that guy goes, "Yeah!"
I never thought I'd give
American Apparel free publicity but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find these two young hot boys in an ad instead of some underage-looking chick in leggings tying her shoelaces, ass up. Progress works in funny ways, doesn't it?
