This is taking sex appeal too far!

Seriously, this ad pricked a very annoyed nerve in me. I guess it'd work for some, but I think they have gone a bit too far using the "easy mode" advertising.

On a side note: That Irish Spring body soap had me sold on the green container (mini women coming out of it actually was a bit creepy overall and def caused delays in trying the product for me)

Yep, Bram, that's a really stupid ad. "Come to Israel! We haz women! You are a woman? You don't like women? Come anyway!"

That is a marketing fail... but then, it's along the similar lines to this post over at Sociological Images.

Besides, I won't buy anything until they start marketing it to me with pale, scrawny, nocturnal goth cabana boys.

You want my roommate? Take him! (warning: he may stab you, or threaten to stab you with only minor provocation) Wait, all but the "cabana" part--googling that turned up "a small tent used as a dressing room beside the sea or a swimming pool " And i'm pretty sure he's not a tent, and much more sure he isn't made of fabric

Cabana boy just reminds me of Monkey Island 3.

"Oh cabana boy..."

"I'll need to see your membership card again."

"uhh, never mind."

Who wouldn't want a pool-side hottie to hand them their drinks?
