I thought it was pretty clever and not at all offensive. I can't imagine that anyone reading the magazine of a younger age would even pay attention to the ad and with all the TV commercial advertising everything from feminine products to "enhancers", nothing is really out of bounds in advertising. | |

Very funny...advertising is supposed to be captivating...not deterring. My favorite part of her comment is: Quote: |
I understand the need for advertising dollars but I imagine that most, if not all, of your readers are sophisticated people, not the uneducated masses, and very well could be bothered by this type of advertising strategy.
| According to her...if you find this humorous, you are uneducated. So looks like there are a bunch of us dummies on here!! | |
