    I hate to be a judgey mcjudgerson, but this comment made me want to vomit and die:

    "Quite frankly I love this add. I can give a not so subtle nudge to my boyfriend and say 'Hey. Look what YOU get if I get what's on her nails'."

    It makes a lot more sense when you realize that they're just promoting their latest color: teabag tearose.

    Just incase anyone has forgot, this is a NAIL POLISH AD, you're supposed to notice the nails - an earth tone would of blended in and the nails would not of stood out. Not saying it's a good ad by any means, but some of you are seriously missing the point.

    @gwaste: What about people who have suggested the nails be red? Obviously you can't have them blend in, but the color is visually offensive.

    Funny how a product that appeals to women (apologies to the men using nail polish on here) STILL manages to stereotype women as sex objects to fulfill mens sexual needs.

    And I should give you my money why??

    Are "humorous" and "offensive" the only options? If so, I'm throwing away my vote on a third party candidate. I'm torn between "dumb" and "ugly".

    The Garden of Eden did not have a nail salon. Before the fall, Eve came equipped with naturally exquisite hair, painted nails and a perfectly dewy mid-blow job dewy complexion.

    You know, just the way Adam wanted her.

    The only thing that truly offends me about that ad is how badly the nail color clashes with the rest of the photo. If it had been an earth-tone, I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance.

    The Eve and apple thing got me thinking that perhaps they are going for the idea bright colour is tempting and often near forbidden in some of the more dour institutions of the workaday world, how we should yearn for a louder, more obnoxiously dressed and coiffed bourgeoisie, how our attention and spirits will be captured by the inspiration of something so titillating as the smell of fresh fruit in the summer time, to awaken our dulled senses and offend our delicate sensibilities...

    And then I clicked.

    Who even notices the nail polish in that shot?

    I'm starting to wonder if there is anything in the world that will not eventually be advertised with a allegorical blow job photo.

    And I've realized what really bothers me about them. It isn't "Kids will seem them!" although that bothers me a little. Its that we pretty much never see an ad about cunnilingus. Its always, always about the peen and how much women love the peen. That's really the problem with the pornification of society- its not the sex it is the near total focus on the male fantasy of porn sex.

    We don't just live an increasingly sexualized culture, we live an increasingly sexualized culture that only thinks about the male orgasm. Even products meant for women use the blow job image, as if there are all these women out there are denied the right to give head and a man eating pussy is some kind of fairy tale myth. The ladies should just be satisfied with their fake blow job orgasms!

    @clevernamehere: Amen sister. I esp. notice this with porn and the countless scenes, advertising, films that focus on the BJ but finding a man going down on a woman almost never happens. Curious about this I tried searching the tags on XNXX and all the videos tagged with cunnilingus were lesbian oriented. And people wonder why women aren't bigger consumers of porn.

    @clevernamehere:
    Any media that depicts cunnilingus, as often, or more often, than fellatio, is often progressive. (See: Six Feet Under.)

    Someone needs to make a giant sign:

    @clevernamehere: I noticed the nail polish, but it's only because, as another poster noted, it completely clashed with the rest of the color scheme.

    Also, I thought it was a take on Adam and Eve. Didn't notice the beej aspect until I read your comment, which is shocking, as I have an unparalleled ability to see the filth in even the most innocuous of tableaux.
