Terrible people get into marketing, so it makes sense that terrible things come out of marketing. Thanks to Bad Men doing poor jobs at soulless companies, this week it's all misogyny and shit.
First, the misogyny.

As if the product, a "firming breast cream," wasn't stupid enough, how about its South African print ad, in which a woman is so proud of her newly rock-solid tits that she simply must show them off at all times, even while scuba diving. Don't be proud you're a licensed scuba diver exploring the world's hidden depths, ladies, be proud of your firm boobs.

You see, o.b. tampons are "Very Absorbent." So absorbent, in fact, that fucking vampires can use them as fangs. Depraved vampires who don't puncture and kill their victims, but instead simply find menstruating women who will let them soak their front teeth in menstrual blood. Yum.
Normally when looking at ads, people are embarrassed for the sad bastards forced to concoct them in their ugly, tacky Madison Avenue cubicles. Rarely are they themselves embarrassed. Well that ends with this beaut:

Coming at you all the way from the Netherlands, this gym ad weighs the person sitting on the adjacent bus stop bench and then blares said weight to the entire world. Now while waiting for the bus, frazzled because you're late for a meeting and embarrassed because you can't afford a car, you can also be reminded that you're a fat ass. A late, broke fat ass.
All-Bran Extra Fiber cereal ad. Tag line: "There is a key." As in, this giant, locked brown door is your constipated asshole, and our bran-filled cereal will unlock your asshole and let the massive wave of poop gathering on the other side shoot out with the force of 100 fire hoses. Appetizing, no?

anyone seen fanofgrendel around?
him and me got some stuff to discuss some more
Actually- I think the All-bran ad is clever.
It takes a lot for me to be offended and that OB ad is over the top. I think that could be the plot for the next Twilight movie…Edward becomes a menstrual blood sucking vampire instead of eating animals. Ew that's gross.
Alfred, let's go shopping.
@fanofgrendel:
hey man we got some stuff to discuss some more
look me up on gawker okay?
I laughed the whole way through those - though the vampire one was more disgusting than anything… UGH!!
poor stupid fucks.
I’d like to clarify that we did not approve this image, it is not one of our advertisements, and it does not reflect our values and standards.
– Teresa Panas from the maker of o.b. tampons
Really? I wonder where it came from then?
@saythatscool: Get a friggin' room, you two! Yeesh.
Isn't she snorkeling?
@Jen: The image was drafted by our ad agency in Switzerland and was rejected.
yeah, she's snorkeling, not scuba diving (after all, the scuba vest would cover her breasts)
The boob cream one is idiotic and offensive, but the vampire one is kinda awesome. I would like to see it in a weird alternative magazine. The kind of thing you just pick up and look at, and it's like your own little secret because it's too out of left field to ever be acknowledged by the mainstream.
Yeah… and CANS FLOAT. Seriously, I'm not sure I can touch my toes, but I'm sure my tits can… STILL my breasts look like that topless underwater (long story).
