9. That's known as the "National Geographic Conundrum".
In the business.

So, I've heard.

10. I've never had one,
mayhaps I'll change my mind.

Although I've never seen a supermarket cashier in quite that pose.

12. Take a look at the "product" to her left.
I'm guessing that's part of the "message".

13. Sliced just so,
to allow the most flavor?

Sometimes these advert kids are such cunning linguists.

24. OKAY that's it!
Go to your room.
:spank:

There was a feminist film maker who made a film called something like "Killing Us Softly," a quasi-documentary on sexual images of woman in advertisements. One section was a montage of subliminal use of natural images to suggest female genitalia. She would have loved this ad!

34. You aren't alone.
Even the skull paintings have been compared to medical outlines of the uterus and related extensions.

Her flowers, well, let's just say some are about as subtle as the Grenandine label.

16. Actually, this is the package label...
Not an advertisement. Not to split hairs...

Probably only sold in liquor stores and the like, so an adult audience is expected.

Too bad the whole Polynesian trend died out...

20. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down,
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on.

21. Thanks for the warning about that A Frame!
It probably houses lots of evil bugs with all that added angle stuff.

It also appears to be an ad of what life was like at 1545 Park Avenue, Emeryville, California before those evil liberals can along and started clothing people in the au natural.

Just above the door.

33. And the doors are open, hypnotically drawing us inward...
Soon we will get thrust into a nice warm vat of cannibal stew!

35. Careful. She looks to be about 50 feet tall.
And by bad luck I have to drive a huge bread truck right down her street.
