[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 56315, member: 441"] Re: Aren't we better than this? You might be surprised that these types of ads are frowned upon in most of my part of the world, yet our attitude towards sexuality (you know, the real one between humans, not the sexuality in car ads kind :lol:), sexual education towards young children, openly gays/lesbians, unisex toilets, porn, etc, etc, is seemingly a lot more straight-forward and relaxed as compared to, for instance, the USA. The way I'm raised these ads are undisreable for the various reasons I have stated earlier in the thread. Personally, I'm not horribly offended, but I think it's dumb to use boobs to sell mixers. I like boobs, I just feel that they have so little to do with the product at hand that I know the ad-maker is including them only to get me a little aroused so I'll read their ad. If the ad has so little merit on it's own that it needs to arouse me to get attention, I'd rather just ignore it. It would be a lot more honest of them if they were trying to sell me some porn :lol:.
