Those Darn Internet Ads, Part 2

I saw a Fredrick's of Hollywood ad.  I get these served up to me because I once entered a raffle on their site to help raise money for the Home for Blind Crack Orphans with Glandular Problems.  It's true, for all intents and purposes.

I saw this, advertised as "Barely-there silhouettes for boudoir fantasies."


Other than the sheer improbability of it actually looking like that in reality without the aid of gaffer's tape, twine, bobby-pins, modeling clay, and 4th level dark magic, I see another potential problem with this design.  Let me illustrate it with bad photo editing.


That's the look that every woman wants to feel sexy.  The cheap sausage being mugged by a gang of rubber bands look.

Those Darn Internet Ads, Part 1

A new feature here at the parade, sure to enchant very small children who laugh at keys and very dizzy otters.

Today's ad:


Other than the stunning reveal of the advanced Asian Woman cloning experiment, I do have to appreciate that this ad really caters to people who believe that beauty is what's inside, and not tied to an age.  That a women, of any age, can be dating material.

Specifically the ages 18 to 98!

Once you hit 99?  Over the hill, lady!  Time to pack up that uterus and get left on a mountain top!

Sadly, the clones are all 19 so it's a bit like Henry Ford: We have any color you want, as long as it's black.  We have any age and look, as long as it's photoshopped within a inch of it's life!

The "I am a" combo box is a bit presumptuous.  There's only room for a three letter word.  What about warthog seeking woman?
