all my fur is sticking up on my back, and I'm about to yowl and hurt somebody. Oh, you wanted thoughts? Give me a minute while I try not to think of rape.

why does it make you think of rape? do rapists prefer white backdrops as a matter of course?

Sorry. My most cranky to date. Maybe it's just that there's not enough lube in the world to make a line of cars plowing me seem pleasurable or consensual.

...and if I was 50 foot queenie, i'd be clamoring for the damned school bus! i don't think the image is a grand feminist triumph, but i am pretty personally sensitive to the use of rape as a descriptor when it needn't be. there are a lot of critically just allegations that i think can be made of this image, it's true. so many that maybe hyperbole isn't necessary. or maybe we just disagree. :)

I'm not so sure it's an American ad. I see cars on the right driving the opposite direction. I do like to wonder what it's an ad for. Lube?

hmm your right. somehow it would be less offensive if it were in another country (and were an ad for lube).

She's flexible and safe from rape because her coochie became invisible.

No, you couldn't do this in the USA, too many fundamentalists would flip out! And, after they flipped, the feminists would flip.

Ah, I am not sure what to say though. It is hilarious and outrageous and -- what a way to sell lube! OK. (blink)

Funny how knowing the product changed my pov.

The object in far right looked like a beer (due to color), and I was grossed out.

However, since it's a lube (and I'm assuming sex lube). My problems with it are minor (more about the disembodied body). In fact, it's a little refreshing to see an ad for a sexual item not couched in "tee, hee's" and euphemisms.
