Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

Trojan (not the horse or Paris) has a new add out that Fox and CBS have refused to air.  Basically it shows a bunch of pigs at a bar not making any connections with some hot babes, until one buys a condom.  Pretty silly and stupid if you ask me, and it could be construed as insulting to some.

So much for American taste, right?

Perhaps in a more tasteful manner, the Aussies have gone one better!  And I think it is hilarious!  It is as gratutious and boorish as the American ad, while being funny and tasteful (yea a contradiction)!  The ad is not about Sex per se, but about speeding.  Yet it does use the same ingredients as the American one.  Hot babes, and randy men (or perhaps not).  It says more in one frame than the American ones does in a 30 second spot.  See for yourself.

The moral?  Never insult an Aussie - they dont observe the Marquis of Queensbury rules!

Doc,

Marquis of Queensbury? Rules? Hah, rules are for sissys and nancy-boys.

I have seen this ad recently and think it is a good attempt at trying to get young idiots from slowing down. Our authorities have tried using graphic ads of accidents and ads stating the implications of speeding but nothing has worked. Maybe aiming for their privates might work instead.

Nancy Boys?  I am sure that is a common derisive term for guys, but I have never heard it before.  Maybe I dont want to know that reference.
