wait what

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

My brain wants to refuse to believe that's a real ad. *shudder*

[woodburner.livejournal.com]

...WHAT?

[neuralclone.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* I don't know where to start. That one definitely needs the "WTF" tag. %-P

Star razor blades, perfect for any sexual assault!

Maybe I'm just warped by "evil" modern society but holy crap that's all I see

[kaibasgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you're not warped, that's the first thing that jumped to my mind too! O___o my gd, that ad is creepy!

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

It took me ages to figure out anything else it could mean. Presumably it means his close shave but... I'm still sure there's no way they weren't trying to be creepy as hell here.

[ms-hissyfit.livejournal.com]

No you aren't warped, they are. It really doesn't help, that they contrast a stark bw silhouette with huge razorblades to the right. That is so, so creepy!

And absolute icon love. That is just the cutest picture, but what is it?

[crimson-flygon.livejournal.com]

Thanks! XD I made it in adobe flash of one of my little cat character things, all 6 of my userpics are it emoting in different ways

[ms-hissyfit.livejournal.com]

Your Pookat is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen!

[13oct.livejournal.com]

Nope, that's exactly what went thru my mind. Immediately after WTF of course.

[contrariwise.livejournal.com]

... please tell me he's referring to how close his shave is, not to how sharp his weapons are.

[bobbybob87.livejournal.com]

That's... disturbing to say the least.

WHAT THE FUCK???

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Ye gods, small fishes, and idiotic double entendres. The past is definitely another country.

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

And what the hell is up with those fetish shoes she's got on?

[misstia]

looks like the lady gaga mcqueen lobster shoes....

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

By God, you're right! D:

This is a horrible, horrible rapey ad. I don't like it at all! D:

[stuberyl.livejournal.com]

Good question! Also, where are her arms?

[mackinzie.livejournal.com]

O_O

[notxdeadxyet.livejournal.com]

So creepy.

[gatepromise.livejournal.com]

Ah, nostalgia, when date rape was okay...

[honscot.livejournal.com]

Say what?? Is this the ad of a serial killer? LOL.

Women in this era were expected to rebuff a man's advances to preserve their virginity and reputation, even if it was only a kiss. However... this expectation did not take into account that women are sexual creatures too, and might actually LIKE it! ANYWAY, "Stop or I'll scream" was what a woman might say when a man starts to kiss her -- right before she grabs his ass. HA. Sort of like Don't. Stop. Don't... stop... DON'T STOP!

[dandyads]

I mean ... I get what they're trying to say here but c'mon, how do you NOT see how this looks?

[1geek-queen.livejournal.com]

WTF? O_O

COPYWRITING FAIL!
