Even weirder, are we really expected to believe that Linda Evans looks like... well like Linda Evans because of any kind of cheap face-zapping device rather than some reeaally expensive cosmetic surgery. But at least the consumer reviews suggest plenty of people out there do, in fact, still have a sense of humor.Monday, September 20, 2010
I don't know just how scared of wrinkles I would need to be to order this product (see right), and I plan on never finding out. Not only is it hideous, it basically zaps electricity at your face through pointy nodes. It is like a cross between a lesser known Dr Who villain and and a fetish device designed by someone who reeeaaally like the facehugger creature from Alien.

Things that are dodgy about this ad:
1) She looks under-age
2) Thinking of your car like a sexual partner is weird

Earth to Chrylser
Have you seen the new Chrysler advertisement? It goes something like this.
1) Small kid is leaving school, three bigger kids are some distance behind him. One yells: "Hey Parker, bet we can beat you home" (Or something to that effect).
2) Parker runs home with three kids in pursuit.
3) Parker jumps in hatchback of Mom's car, closes hatch and sees three kids in rear view camera.
4) Parker waves tauntingly at three kids as they drive off.
Beat you home? Clearly this ad was filmed with the idea that the three kids wanted to beat Parker, not beat him home. I get that Chrysler realised at the last minute that a jokey ad about bullying would not go over well.
But now instead of being tolerant of bullying the ad just implies that Chrylser thinks their potential customers are complete frakking idiots who wont see through what they are clearly doing here.
(I would link to the ad but I can't find it anywhere online.)
Edited to add, found it:

Curtains for Sarah: a Cover Story
I should have been an easy job. Sneak in, take down the curtains, and whip up a ravishing dress to match her lipstick. But then Brett charged in. "Oh no you don't," he declared. "Red is my signature color!" And that was when the Captain found them. It might help Brett whose masculinity was frequently questioned, but Sarah's reputation was ruined!
