Can any sex sell anything?
It is important to remember when looking at this UK ad for toothpaste that even if your mother is beautiful, there is nothing sexy about her. Then remember that it isn't actually her son. And his smile is really creepy.
Thank you Beverly Hills Formula, for all of the uncomfortable sexuality of The Tin Drum with none of the literary, artistic or intellectual merit. (Via adland)
And while we are on the subject of the gratuitous use of sex to sell unsexy products, take a look at these French ads for cheese. (Via Consumerist)
I'll be back in a minute. I have to go find more ads with European women wearing less clothing than they should. For the good of the country, of course.

This just cracks me up. While I agree with your point, it just makes me laugh to think that no 10-year old kid is a good enough actor not to have that look on his face when confronted with a naked woman.
