Capture Her Bazongas!

12.29.04 (7:26 pm) [edit]

Now, see? That's exactly what I mean about you heterocentric cavemen! Using the female form to sell any product whatsoever, under the Sun and Even Elsewhere. This is a perverted way to think of Our Fairer Sex (whether straight or queer), 51% of our species Homo Sapiens...that is: The Not-So-Silent-Anymore Majority! These ads encourage a most ugly image of all women--every single female on the planet including generations as yet unborn--as whores, prostitutes for Amerikan Kapitalistic Dogma.

Now just look at that floozy advertisement: which a few frames I managed to grab off the Maximumedge (webmail) logout page. The actual ad is probably 10 or more different frames. (I first attempted to download it with the usual r-click, but alas it failed.)

Here we have your stereotype blonde bimbo, flashing her breasts up and down in a most voluptuous manner, while a dirty old man's hand grabs hopefully at the Treasure Chest. The heart icon itself is simply a distraction to trick you into perceiving the ad as "innocent". Or, more than likely, to give you the perfect excuse should you be questioned as to why you were smiling at the Cyber Siren. And should anyone really challenge you, you'd simply say: "Oh you're making too much of this!"

What gives it away for me, is that hand. Not a young man's hand by any means. Nope, it's not even a hand possessing flesh. It is the hand of a skeleton. It may even be the hand of the Grim Reaper Himself! (Probably isn't, but it may as well be, when one considers the karmic implications of this bitty bawdy babolicious blinking booby banner. Someone must have sold his soul to come up with such an ad. Indeed! They're a penny a dozen.)

But is this not morally corrupt to regard any human being as solely (or most importantly) as a sex object? It would seem such objectification in a hard-core commercialized society (as Amerika has become), gives major influence towards male inspiration to intimidate, terrorize, bash, and rape, Our Better Half, The Feminine Majority.

This is beyond bad taste. This is brutal.

This is my gift for the New Year: My Salute To Women's Suffrage and Lesbian Pride.

"This is beyond bad taste. This is brutal"

I think your assessment of this ad is completely over the top, if not downright ridiculous.

Get a grip on reality: sex drive between men and women is one of our most fundamental driving forces - that, and survival. Just like any other species, in fact. The fact an ad uses sex appeal of a woman to lure men into buying a product is simply a reflection of our human condition. The same with ads which use the sex appeal of men to lure women. I don't see anything wrong with it in principle.

Geee... you find THIS ad offensive? Beyond bad taste? Brutal? Fuck me dead, what planet have you been living on lately, LOL?

You just don't want your illicit party broken up. You know heterocentrism give you cart blanche to use women as sex objects...and that it's exclusively a privilege of hetero males (not women), and is a living example of gender roles in a society based on war, violence, and terrorism.

Once again, I couldn't agree with you more, Zeke. Ads like this are utterly repulsive and degrading to women. Just wait until Gloria Allred hears about this.

Interestingly enough, moralists like Jerry Falwell, who obsess over anything even remotely perceived as homosexual (remember Tinky Winky?), are curiously silent when it comes to garbage like this. WhyNot's comments (which you rebuked beautifully, BTW) were almost as revolting as the ad.

We can at least take solice in this: the heterocentrists are a dying breed. Though we may not live to see it, guys like WhyNot and the creator of that ad are going the way of the DoDo bird, and that fact will make me sleep just a little bit better tonight. ;)

Hooray for Gloria Allred: "The more I know about men the more I like dogs." (Or was that the actress?) And: do I remember Tinky Winky? I sure do; visit my web page at:

And...yes, the vulgarity of WhyNot sticks out like a syphilitic, er...thumb.
