				What better way to illustrate the changing times than with shrinking hemlines? <a href="http://www.adrants.com/2008/08/in-china-the-miniskirt-is-the-new.php">This Volkswagen ad</a> for the "New Beetle" in China illustrates the new design not with an actual picture of a car but with two women: one from the '60s in a longer dress and one from "today" in a minidress and heavy eye-make up. Wow! Fashions change... which means we need to get a new car that is (probably) too hideous to even be featured in the ad. Too bad advertising trends don't seem to change, because the whole short skirts=innovation (not to mention women=car) is getting kinda old. <i>(Click the picture to view the full-size ad)</i> [<a href="http://www.adrants.com/2008/08/in-china-the-miniskirt-is-the-new.php">AdRants</a>]				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5036939/" title="Click here to read more about
