	Oh, dear. An ad campaign that could have gone so very, very right going so very, very wrong. (Reply to this)

	I think a big hairy naked guy picture isn't quite having the effect on me that they intended. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Heh. I'm taking this as a cautionary tale, but not the way they intend. That's what I'll look like in ten years if I stop working out, and start wearing a Ron Jeremy mustache.

All joking aside, though... I doubt that the people who came up with this ad meant anything by it -- they meant it to be provocative, but not this particular kind of provocative. If you're immersed in this kind of culture, you tend to spout this kind of shit without realizing it, which makes it even more important that people make some noise when this happens.

	...and I just noticed that the very first comment, Natasha's, voiced this more eloquently than I did. Dammit. (Reply to this)(Parent)
