I guess that's why they stuck the foxy woman inbetween the two.

She's definitely barking up the wrong tree there.

Maybe she thinks she can turn them straight? You know, for the right woman…

hm, well they can pretend to be turned straight with her, its not like they'll have to "face the music" because of the half fish thing if you know what I mean

She's fish from the waist down. So does it really matter? ;)

Not to a Ken doll. They just want to hug a little and drink malteds.

Fish do have holes. They're just usually small and, really, who would be actively looking for them?

If she's just looking to spawn, then, yeah, not a problem and this is really ideal for everyone because the dudes also have an opportunity to become parents without all that icky intercourse business. They all look pretty liberal, so they'll probably do okay with raising children of mixed heritage but they'll have some issues to deal with. Do they raise the kids on land or in the water and what about visitation? Also, one dude is Presbyterian, the other one still considered himself Catholic, in spite of, you know, and she's Jewish. They say it doesn't matter and they'll let the kids decide for themselves, but it will become an issue around the holidays.

Then again, most of the kids will get eaten before they sprout their appendages anyway.

I don't think she can handle both of those guys

I don't think either of the guys can handle her either.

What a great piece of art! Still, you know she's going to kill them as soon as they let their guard down.

This. First thing I thought was "She's going to decapitate them both and drink their fresh warm blood from their necks."

Indeed. My first thought after seeing her expression was Kate Beaton's mermaids, who love to drown the people they lure in. Doop doop!

The art is indeed beautiful, though.

Yes! Agreed and I died laughing at your icon.

In this week's memo from the Department of Mixed Messages, we learn about how to throw your marketing budget down the drain with an ad that will almost certainly make your customers squeamish.

Tawdriel, Ariel's slutty cousin, also hoped to find a handsome prince and was dismayed to instead find herself surrounded by queens when she washed ashore on Fire Island. But soon she learned that they loved to party as much as she did and were very generous with the E and that life as a hag wasn't so bad afterall.

Thanks! I submitted this script to Disney as a sequel to A Little Mermaid and they turned it down. Can't imagine why.

this is really ironic given the depiction of jantzen on the show mad men as a "FAMILY COMPANY" that did not wish to titillate with their advertising. i wonder if that was accurate or if this ad was from when someone else was in charge...

Oh.
Oh so. So that super short cut of men's shorts was always a gay style?
Because, seriously, the only purpose shorts that short serve is foreplay.

I was thinking that it's because no straight man under the age of 60 would buy cabana wear.

Yes! And the mermaid looks suspiciously like Dr. Mrs. The Monarch (nee Girlfriend). Wish we could hear her speak.

I'm quite amazed that the starfish bra was acceptable imagery at the time. This ad must've been hidden under the mattress of every straight boy in America. Maybe even some of the gay ones, with the man-nipple on the left; they could've used it like a Mad fold-in (like so (http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i83/ChristianDiMarino1983/jantzen_mermaid_foldin.jpg).)

O.M.G...YES. This is totally a Mad fold-in.

Holy crap, I used to love that magazine. Thanks for reminding me of it!!
