Topokoko (or whatever his name is), right? That dude fucking loves Germany. I didn’t know that’s who you were referencing at first, I figured it was a little wink at German porn.

Yeah I’m still lost

Oh, they got the ladies covered, too:

This is how that Budweiser fiasco happens. No one bothers to call it out in the classroom. There were a couple of us, including some guys, who were appalled by the whole concept. I’m happy you got photoshop skillz but use them for good.

Optics aside, there’s a superficially appealing argument that these ads are not sexist. They include both men and women in the same context, similarly clothed (more accurately, unclothed) and with the same (albeit crude) tag line. Also, the characters the models portray are willing, adult participants in an exchange…

I had a male classmate in concept design make a condom ad campaign that featured a suitcase with travel labels and the tag line: “Because you don’t know where SHE’S been.”

It does like they are being forced into the sex trade for both of the models. It does not make me want to ride the sad, sex slave bus. It doesn’t help the female model looks like she is getting her head cut off.

He was wearing a fedora for real while he was in class? At least, he was showing his doucheness right away.

I had officially no feelings about Charlotte Church before this but now I’m solidly in the (Charlotte) Church camp.

Do they think no women ever ride buses?

This lady must think every celebrity who ever wore a red ribbon at an awards show has full blown AIDS.

I understand wanting to associate your product with sex but 5 dollar sex?

Reminds me of one of my favorite scary stories as a kid. It was about a girl who wore a ribbon around her neck all the time. She lived next door to a boy who was her friend and he kept asking her why she wore that ribbon. She would tell him she couldn’t say. As they got older, they fall in love and got married. They…

The muted colours and her expression makes it look more human traffic-y. Your idea atleast makes it seem more lighthearted and with the girl atleast looking happy.

Even the model can’t be bothered with this nonsense.

Personally I find her completely not-interested expression even worse. At least if they’d gone for something a bit sillier (a cheeky wink and bright colours) you could buy the whole “tongue in cheek” intention.

2 Things. 1. I completely forgot about Charlotte “Voice of an Angel” Church and 2. They could totally repurpose these bus ads for a sting operation to catch all the pervs who travel internationally for illegal sex tourism.

FFS.

Anyone else find the window seam across the neck a double down on creepy?

Okay, that’s it. I’m buying a pillow for my desk so that I can read these stories without risking a concussion.
