I Can't Quite Help Myself

Since I'm sure that you, my devoted Cake Eater readers, are not only devoted, but are also some savvy web surfers, I'm sure you've already seen the inaugural ad-campaign for Tom Ford for Men.

In case you haven't and for once I'm much savvier than you, well, take the jump. I will warn people now (AND YES, MOM, THIS MEANS YOU!) that it could be construed as not really all that arty-farty but actually fairly offensive. If not altogether pr0nographic. If you're of the faint of heart, DON'T TAKE THE FREAKIN' JUMP, EH?

And, more importantly, don't say I didn't warn you.

What the fuck, eh, my devoted Cake Eater Readers. You can go hereand see the actual ad campaign.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've posted a picture of c00ch on my blog. I'm also fairly certain it will be the last, so revel in the naughtiness of it all!

Anyway, I have a few questions/comments regarding this product.

Ahem

1. Is it supposed to smell like c00ch? If so, perhaps Eau du Cod would have been a better name.

2. Is it actually supposed to help you, the average heterosexual male, get more c00ch. One can only suppose that this advertising campaign is supposed to (er) drive this point home, eh? (Oh, stop the obviousness already!) The only problem I have with this is, er, is Tom Ford really the guy you want helping you obtain said c00ch?

He is, in all actuality, a pretty good designer, but women the world over know that this is the fucker who was singlehandedly responsible for the thong trend of the late nineties. He started the whole ball rolling with that piece of crap that he designed for Gucci---you know, the one with the big 'G' above the ass crack. He's the one who's responsible for the resurgence of butt floss. Most women, like myself, talked a good game when it came to thongs, that really, they weren't that bad once you got used to them, but really, we hated having that thing where it wasn't supposed to be. Tom Ford is at fault for this. Knowing this, and knowing that most women would have him castrated for such an affront, I ask you again, my devoted Cake Eater readers, is he really the guy you want helping you in this department?

3. Is that one heck of a wax job or what? Too bad the rest of us can't p'shop our, erm, assets.

Less razor burn that way, I suspect.

4. Well, at least it's not yet another cleavage shot. Is it just me or does it seem beyond ironic that the c00ch should be sexualized in the same way breasts generally are?

Weird, eh?

Very interesting add campaign.

I really don't quite know what else to say...

Good grief!
