just a bit over the line for me, but creative nonetheless

Fail. Sorry, advertising fail.
Ugh.

Makes me want to UN check my card, almost.

I'm not normally a wet towel on a hot, cute ad, this seems like a lapse of taste beyond the usual.

Ok, I just looked it up, it's placement is in a Belgian men's mag, so it's less idiotic by far if you look at placement and I guess its tacky might actually do some good.

It's a men's rag. Some might give her a kidney if they could fuck her.

 

[JMohegan]

My response to the ad is: Fuck you, bitch. I've had better.

and kept all you functioning body parts to boot

so tasteless and tacky is OK if it is directed at men
or just Belgian men

Yes!!

I've heard guys say "I'd give up my left nut to fuck that!" - is this just variation on that?

 

[Shankara20]

Yes!!

all the better to live and fuck again...

It may be more effective, which is the main thrust of my sense of merit in this case.

However, I could see it being offensive enough to backfire there even, because this isn't just another car or beer. It assumes that firsthand experience with the issue and sensitivities around it are fringe enough that no men will be creeped out, or those that are will go "oh well it's for a good cause."

My personal reaction is "fine, so you only want hard up horny male corneas." But since it's in a men's rag, that's not really a concern.

I don't think that this is really going to make young men between 18-50 run out and check those driver's boxes in a flurry though. Most ads are pretty stupid, really.

it does go to the stereotype that men make decisions with their dicks....

Most humans make snap decisions with their eyes, it's a fact.

But it's an overplayed fact.

Hee hee.

Sorry, advertising is something I can get pretty geeked about.

It goes to the stereotype of conventional "wisdom" that men are supposed to wine & dine, flatter & cater to, shower with flowers and chocolate and jewelry, in order to gain access...... and now we're supposed to give up body parts as well?

There are plenty of physically lovely women in this world. The bitch in that ad can take something fat and prickly, and shove it right up her ass.

Um yes, actually. And maybe gain access. The key is MAYBE.

I can't say I haven't ever had the yakuza or van gogh fantasy.



Though I don't think that's as conventional as you think.

You are confirming my suspicion that some woman wrote the text in that ad.

Either that, or some dude hot for humiliation. Or maybe just a putz.

Either way, please take note - oh ye of advertising geekitude. In certain circles, as far as persuasive measures go, that ad sucks.

Like I said, it will make a young mouth breather look at it and actually MAYBE read the tagline.

Is it going to make him a donor?

So freaking unlikely.

What about this one then??

Oh please!

Come on people. This mistaking of sitting there with your legs splayed like grade-A cunt as female POWER against which you are victimized for your sexuality needs a re-think. If there's any sense of entitlement being fucked with it's that any man anywhere any who should be able to fuck any woman he wants.

I mean I appreciate the tease as much as the next person, in fact I've revolved a sexuality around it, but let's get real.

 

[Netzach]

Actually, after some of the horror stories i've heard concerning common place civil rights violations against people simply because they are donors, i've gone through the considerable hassle of unchecking my donor box.

I don't want my doctor considering how valuable my organs are when making decisions regarding my health, and I really don't want to be a guinea pig for an experimental drug or practice in the ER while i'm still alive, just because i agreed to donate my organs when i die.

This is a really good point, and why I have a pages-long directive.

Valentines Day. That sums up my response to the ad, precisely. Take the Valentines Day imbalance, and apply it to the whole dating process.

It's not the woman's pose, it's the text that pisses me off.

Not only does all of this conventional "wisdom" about one-sided jumping through hoops grate against my control freak nature, but my experience has been that fawning, slathering, obsequious attention to a female target is more than unnecessary. It's counterproductive in most cases.

For the record, I don't see men as victimized by women in this regard. I see men as self-victimized here. Quit acting like desperate dogs, begging for a scrap of meat. Get some fucking dignity and you'll be getting ass.

I've seen the jumping through hoops thing in movies and in television but not so much in reality.

Except by stalkers.

Guess I'm just lucky.

 

[JMohegan]

the eye candy might be nice, but the stuck up sense of entitlement that the caption confers, (a sentiment which is sadly all to common) is presicely why slasher movies depicting gory violence against supermodel-esque cheerleaders and promqueens find production and sell tickets.

An aura of stuck up entitlement is one of the three fastest ways for a physically appealing woman to turn my appreciation into disgust with the package. The other two are picking up a cigarette, and spouting views I find unethical.

As for cheerleaders and prom queens - the bitchy ones are just as insecure as most other people in high school. That's why they act so bitchy! Because they're afraid of losing their own social standing. And they want to date and/or fuck guys of comparable social standing for the same reason.

You really don't notice a distinction between what a guy is supposed to pay for, give, or do, in order to gain access, and what the woman's supposed to provide in return?
