Conformers? Exclusive boys hotels? Spreading?

Why dont the just show an ad w/them having sex?

[dandyads]

I legitimately LOL'ed at that first one. I think I've seen intentionally gay ads that were less gay than that.

"They SPREAD when you do"

And nothing more needed to be said.

Gay subtext? What do you mean gay subtext? "Spreads when you do" is a perfectly innocent phrase, especially when speaking of posteriors. *angry prude wanders away grumbling about filthy minds*

They're ribbed and pleasing to men or women! But just be sure to use a fresh "towel" every time.

Anyone else thought the first ad said "Hardwood" at first? It might as well.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

That top ad is so unfortunate on so many levels.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

The more I look at it, the more I think "It HAS to be a spoof ad!" I can't find ANY other ads by that company or for that brand.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

That would actually be reassuring, lol.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

alas, further searching turned up other print ads in newspapers, same name, same product and same awful slogan, written "they S-P-R-E-A-D when you do". :(
