yesterday i posted a fake beer ad


using a woman's body as a beer holder (and f**k object. AT THE SAME TIME). that was disturbing to me.

then today i saw this and yesterday's ad DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO DISTURBING

silly me - i guess a dead woman can still be a sexy woman

Wrangler features sexydead models

Apparently the cowboy jeans company decided to "spice up" their ads a bit: by featuring corpses along with the tagline, "We are animals." Because, you know, murder is so hot right now. The one after the jump is so disturbing (trigger warning) that I honestly felt like I might throw up. I don't think I've ever seen the sexualization of violence against women so disturbingly portrayed on an ad before.

They also come with a live ad that's being run in France (along with these gems), as Melissa at Shakesville says, is "featuring the jeans models engaging in some animalism pre-death...?--I've no idea. Don't ask me to explain. I cannot." Took the words out of my mouth.........

Never liked the Madison Avenue types, if it sold something, and they could get away with it, they would make a commercial throwing babies to hungry bears
