Sprite Wants Us to Think It Tastes Like a Bodily Fluid

TresSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:00:00 -0700

With all the sexually-charged commercials out there, I thought dirty ad executives could shock me no more. Well a proposed German commercial for Sprite has managed to upset my sensibilities once again by combining oral sex, a desire for Sprite, and a climactic finish. The ad crosses the line from racy to pornographic.

Creating a controversial commercial that ended up banned in Germany does create buzz for the brand. (They got us to talk about Sprite.) But I'm just not sure that comparing Sprite to semen is working for the product here. What do they want us to think? Semen - the taste that refreshes! NOT.

Sprite isn't the first company to have women perform sex acts on a product. Remember Burger King's ad in Singapore that had a woman attempting oral sex on a BK Super Seven Incher? Do you think the trend of pornographic ads will continue with success, or do you predict a backlash?

To see the extremely NSFW ad, read more.

WTF?!

Is there a Lorena Bobbit bob-for-severed-penises equivalent? Because if there isn't, ladies of Japan, you can take my idea. It's free.

Steve Wood: Douchebag of the Day

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:00:00 -0800

Meet Steve Wood from VH1's groan-inducing new reality show Tough Love. He describes himself as a "master matchmaker" and says that you need him; I figure women need this guy like they need a hole in their heads. Describing single women with contempt as "desperate, delusional, and baby hungry," you'd have to be clinically insane to take this douche's advice. I'm pretty sick of this, "Hey, stupid woman, I'm going to insult you while pretending it's for your own good" trend in self-help. It's straight-up hatred, women. Don't take the bait! I bet he works in tandem with Mystery from The Pickup Artist who gives advice to players on how to play these women. Hint #1: Insult her - they like that!

Should Spirit Air Continue to Run These Ads?

"Ultra low-cost" Spirit Air doesn't offer complimentary snacks, drinks or checked bags - but they sure can serve up some offensive advertising! Pilots, flight attendants, and reps from the Association of Flight Attendants are wishing they'd pull their risqué ads, which use double entrendres that refer to female flight attendants' body parts and loose sexuality. Their ads have invited customers to enjoy its DD's (deep discounts) and "MILFs" (many islands, low fares), which as some of us know, is an acronym for "mothers I'd like to f*ck." As one rep for the AFA said, "I feel as though I have entered a time warp and am reliving the battles for respect and justice for women that we fought for 40 years ago." What do you think - should Spirit Air continue to run these ads?

Ewww!

Many moons ago, I posted a poll on the best slang words for vagina. By many moons ago, I'm talking almost two years ago. It still shows up in traffic reports, which means that ~~people~~ dudes must be checking it out still. Why am I telling you all this? Because this hilarious Yahoo Questions post includes one of the slang terms I refused to put on the list. I'll let someone else gross you out with the nastiest term for lady-bits yet! Between the naiveté of the question (she actually thinks this is an interior design term!) and the attempt by the answerer to be polite, I am, as they say, LOLing.

Remember Ladies, There's a Reason We Had a Feminist Movement!

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! Not.)

Headline of the Day

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." (Click here for her account.) I don't doubt that there were customers who preferred her looks and age, but I also don't doubt that stripping is mostly a young woman's game. What I find incredible is the hysterical conversation that comes up over this in this Fox News clip. First, anchor Megyn Kelly gets wished "Happy Birthday" and says, "Thankfully I'm not yet 44!" (Isn't that a tad inappropriate given the subject?) Then, the Fox News legal analyst says that if Ouwroulis's boss merely made "just one remark, that's not discrimination." Ummm, wha? "You're too old, scram!" isn't discrimination? I didn't go to law school, but that doesn't sound right. What does all of this bring up for you all? About stripping? Age? Fox News? Etc.? Sound off in the comments below.

Ruh Roh!

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?

Flashback: Arrid Fights Your "Sex Perspiration"

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 04:00:00 -0800

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. "You don't wanna be a sweaty ho, do you now?" the ad seems to ask. Something tells me that the hoo-ha flashers of today wouldn't give a damn.

Suggestive Much?

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? Just watch all the old Cadbury Flake ads and you'll see what I mean. Wow.
