Gangster Rap

Well what if it were a man in the ad, would that make a difference, because it's less socially acceptable?

Why is it wrong?

If anything should use sex to sell don't you think it should be a sex product.

It's a bit of fun aimed at men to get them to buy a product that stops women having unwanted pregnancies. And if someone considers that offensive to women I suggest they go out in the real world.

It would make a difference, I assume, because we wouldn't get it. In fact, if it were a picture of a man's tired tongue, I am sure we would find it much more obscene than funny. Sorry, not WE, because I'm sure we'd all laugh, but it would never be posted in billboards.

It's funny because we all get it, because we have all accepted a man and woman's place in society, even if we know that it is "un-enlightened" to think that way.

I was talking about the one above that.

Referencing the first ad, Dolce and Gabbana are not sex products.

Oh, yeah, sorry. Same reply, just substitute the "laugh" parts. The message is that we get it. If it was a woman wrestling a man down, it would be taken first as a feminist ad, and THEN a dolce ad.

For the 2nd ad, I laughed at the absolute ridiculousness of it. Like how can that possibly convince someone to buy the respective product?

A lot of guys would see it and have the attitude of yeahhhh, right on.

It is ridiculous though, and I have no idea how it would possibly convince someone to by the respective product.

Haha I mean I'm all for getting some action, but I don't want to physically hurt anyone...
