    This advertising is free provocation. Do you see a connection between shoe and blow-job : i don't, the same advertising for a pant's zip will be more logical ... .



    This advertising is of very bad taste, the sperm on the right leg of the girl, is a trivial detail.



    Really i dont understand why some pro of advertising have to meld everything with sex. Sex to sell tomatos, sex to sell pizzas ...

    Sex melted with everything looks like a total lack of imagination coming from the professionals of advertising.

    It's like when that 2 Live Crew CD was banned in Florida. Made a very amateur band's album go multi-platinum. There's no such thing as bad publicity (I think that might be PT Barnum again).

    anyway, it doesn't have to offend someone to still be degrading

    there is a real chance that people have learned to love what degrades them...

    OK, so you all agree that it's bad, but we've all seen as bad in everyday advertising -- which has just become a science of suggestion these days. Is it the bodily fluid that sends us over the top? fear of the body, iDunno?



    Weird...

    Nothing here, I can't find a trace of it either. But a quick look around where those were hosted was confusing. Where did Jon find them?

    I did a search for Benetton and it defenitely seems like the kind of ad that would be in it.

    I can see the copy writers now...



    "Puma girls don't swallow."

    "Just in time for school! Puma Bukkake Wear!"

    "He came, she swallowed, they conquered. Puma."



    I'm sorry...so sorry... <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

    I have found out that these ads are real. They will be shown in the Brazilian version of Maxim.



    That is all.

    How do we know they are real? If I see that in the states i'm going to have to support their products becasue that takes guts.

    That's hardly a reason to support a product. It would take guts to publish any number of offensive ads. You should be more discriminating.
