Racy Advertisements.

The old society, concepts, and ancient mindsets are slowly, but surely falling away. Subjects that were considered taboo are now discussed freely over a cup of coffee, encouraged by the enormous influence the media represents, which uses what used to be unspeakable to entice would-be consumers.

Need proof? Pick up that copy of the newspaper from your front door and flip through it. Chances are, you'll come across advertisements exhorting you to call a certain hotline for ridiculous rates, with pictures of pretty, young nubile girls you'd supposedly get to talk to if you'd just only dial that number. But is it really these nymphos you're going to talk to? More likely bored housewives with squeaky voices, trying to fill in the hours of the day. Or filipino maids.

Pay more attention when you walk pass a newstand. You'll notice magazines with gorgeous cover girls, with coverpages screaming "How to have hot steamy sex", or "Top 10 ways to get her off". But are these magazines really the stuff to make you an uber stud and the next sex guru? Chances are, the article consists of 1 or 2 pages, and tells you nothing you don't know.

Flick on the tube, and watch as the man who drinks ABC beer gets all the babes, besides opening a new building, finding a new species frog and other wild stuff. Hey..I drink beer too...but where ARE the babes? *looks around*...

In the recent motor show, I observed more people interested in snapping pictures with the models than with the cars and motorcycles. Dammit...I mean...it's a damn MOTOR show. Not a model's galore. And everywhere I turn, I see more and more advertisements and events that incorporate images that have little or nothing to do with the actual product or subject at hand. I don't get to bonk those cute little nymphos when I call do I? Do I get a free model for each car I purchase? If I get me a barrel of beer and finish it, maybe I'll start dreaming of the babes and other stuff?

Think it's bad? At least I did. Until I stumbled on this article that fully illustrated the total depravity that today's advertising industry has lapsed into.

Behold.

I mean...WTF...these are SWEETS that kids eat man. I think I ate some myself...without realising how racy the wrappers were. Haha..so eating lemon flavoured Maoam is just like having sex eh? Ohh...cherry flavoured Maoam lets you bust TWO cherries at one go. Duh..

Another example of totally irrelevant advertising.

How can this industry ever be meaningful? Wonder what they were thinking...shifting their target market towards horny old men who get a kick out of watching fruits have a go at it with little green men from mars while the fruity flavour floods their mouths? Get a life..

Riding hard, fast, safely AND taking a few corners.
