[laugh]

You've come a long way baby.

am I wrong?
I'll happily remove it, but I thought it was more commentary on an absurd advert (as the editorial indicates).
Rather than simply making fun of women or posting something of a purely prurient nature, it is making fun of an ad that is telling women that to get ahead in their career they need to wash themselves.
If it crosses the line, I'll happily delete it... (kowtow)

meh...
it isn't funny...
I guess it works here.
I wonder which brainiac in the advertising industry came up with that garbage. [bang]
[roll]
I think it's amazing that something like that makes it through and is actually printed :o
I've always wondered why the women's magazines seem to be filled with advice on how to improve every little bodily, internal, external, intellectual, sexual and/or otherwise crowd pleasing(?) detail.....
To me, it seems like they make a living out of telling their sisters that they're not ok as they are.
Do you remember that high school Principal's speech? "don't read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly"
It looks like someone who BARELY passed basic psych and sociology got a job writing ad copy, and is hopefully now asking if the customer wants fries with their "meal". Terrible ad.
It sucks . [roll]
Women have a hard enough time in life ....why make their lives harder by complicating something they probably already know all about .
Dumb AD.
I guess that smell I smelled in the office was too many different brands of Perfume.
Dolph :)
Not cool
I just let my wife read it and she thought it was ridiculous and kind of insulting. Obviously they want to sell their product but that's kind of a creepy way to do it. :P

Institutional sexism in ads like that make me so mad. Hell, I need a raise too! How the hell is that product gonna help ME?

Not cool Fresh
Fixed ;)
Seriously though, this is just hilarious. Who in their right mind would agree to put that out? I picture a board room full of old men patting each other on the back saying: this'll do great! it really reaches out to the female psyche.
well it is candid in an age where candor rules supreme

Yeah, you are. The OP wasn't being sexist or objectifying women, he was rightfully pointing a ridiculous ad that does. Don't be obtuse.
