    Are they the mothers of the panty raiders of Kiev? Diseases were probably just as dastardly in the 70s... #badvertising

    This picture is being sent to Mr. Lymed with a notation that this is why he should wear suits more often. #badvertising

    @Lymed: I have no problem admitting that guys become 300% more attractive to me in suits. I don't know what it is, but like Pavlov's dog I wind up drooling. Why can't John Hamm have *that* as one of his "Beyond Mad Men" influences? Fewer "bros" dressing like overgrown frat boys and more men classing it up! #badvertising

    Don't you think it could be modern-day cynicism that is making everyone take this badly? Clearly the advertisers were trying to say, "If your wife/gf doesn't buy this for you [which 50 years ago was probably how most men got their cologne etc.], you should go buy it because it's THAT AWESOME." The woman isn't even Asian, and is probably just a "hot chick" to help sell product.

    I agree. It's just ordinary, use-a-hot-chick-as-an-object offensive.

    I approved this comment and some others that voiced similar sentiments, but I really don't see it here. It's tacky, sexist, and trades in stereotypes, which is bad enough.

    On the plus side, the characters do actually read 'jade east' and not something about opening a container of lucky rats.

    @szuperremek: I am laughing because I always wonder about that. Several of my students have kanji symbol tattoos that they swear read "Strength" and stuff like that, but I suspect that at least some of them read "dumbass gaijin".
