A new ad campaign for Sugar In The Raw gives new meaning to food porn: A chocolate cake is photographed like a crotch, purposely pixelated and called a "forbidden pleasure," with the words "enter here." Cupcakes with cherry "nipples" are censored, as though they are breasts. Sure, it's a cheeky play on the brand's name — Raw …
If you're a fan of Dracula, True Blood, Twilight or The Vampire Diaries, you'll get a kick out of this almost-sorta-NSFW commercial from the UK. Damon Salvatore never has this problem, does he?
So often, we see celebrities and models digitally slimmed for ad campaigns. But in Audrina's Bongo ads, it appears as though her slim physique was made slightly softer and less bony. A woman just can't "win."

An Australian fertility clinic's ad (seen in FHM) involves pages stuck together. Pull 'em apart, and there's a photograph of a sexay woman and the line "Don't waste your sperm." So… We want these dudes contributing to the gene pool?
According to this La Senza ad, nothing says Christmas like ligerie-clad ladies moaning "ancient yuletide carols" while writhing on a bed. We hadn't realized that cup sizes are lettered just like musical notes! (Probably because they aren't.)
Polish pop singer Sara May — real name Katarzyna Szczolek — would like to win a district council seat in her hometown of Warsaw, and she's using photographs of herself in a bikini as part of her campaign.
First the brand sucked balls

A reader sent this Suave body wash ad — seen in a recent ladymag — in which the model seems to have bathed herself so hard, some of her parts fell off.
There isn't any dialogue between David and Victoria Beckham in the commercial for Intimately Yours fragrances, so naturally we had to write some ourselves.
Kim Kardashian's 30-second fragrance spot is being called "her second funniest video yet." Because of her sex tape, get it? Hilarious. But the truth is, there are a few strange things about the commercial:
…If it weren't for The Archangel John Malkovich and a Nespresso coffee maker. At least, that's the gist of this commercial. [AdFreak]

"Being a woman isn't easy," Sarah Haskins sighs. "We work, we take care of the house, we raise children… and we do it all without a shred of help from those lumbering manbeasts known as husbands."
"No matter which angle you dissect this little thirty second spot from, only one conclusion is possible; the purposeful exposure of the so-called desperate ignorance of Black women." Also, does the ad pit blacks against Eastern Europeans? [Womanist Musings, Racialicious]
Was this ever a popular saying? [Vintage Ads]
From a deserted shampoo temple to words like "hydrolicious" and "prismatic," hair product commercials elevate beautiful hair to something to die for, Sarah Haskins finds.
Too many questions, not enough answers. [Vintage Ads]

In case you didn't know, it's smart to ride the Rocket, ladies. And by Rocket I mean this sweet car, of course. What were you thinking? Get your mind out of the gutter! [Vintage Ads]
