Since we’re on the topic of  demeaning, demoralizing  campaigns  that can only be a product of ignorance and bad taste, allow me to bring your attention the latest offender, that a dear friend sent my way:

Ok, I’m gonna give you a moment to catch your breath.. yes my friends this is indeed what we have succumbed to. Before I get into the distrubing message this sends out to women, let’s take a step back to examine the catch phrase.. ” Got the Chest, Get The Breast” ?????? First of all that sounds like something you would say to the KFC employee when he asks you what pieces of  chicken you want in your value meal. ” A chest and a  breast and a  thigh please.”  So let me get this straight,  if you got a chest, then you should get the breast?.. I’m sorry but the last time I checked everyone has a chest, so that can’t possibly be a prerequisite for  acquiring the breast? Whatever! It’s  gibberish, I’m sure the person who “created” this, was so happy when he/she thought that the words “chest” and “breast” rhyme. What scares me more is that Dr. Dany Nasr, who will be preforming the surgery actually approved this Ad. I’m not sure I wanna be under his knife.

Now lets move on to the “Under Construction” sign they placed on this woman’s chest, yes, you better believe it, it just gets better and better. This Ad takes the concept of “objectifying women” to a new low,  labeling her as one would label a site, or  business, a mere lifeless product that needs some “work”  done to improve.

So  ladies, are you gonna take matters into your own hands? Are you gonna be fabulous?

Has anyone spotted this billboard on the highway? What does this say to our dear men?  Here is my interpretation:

Dear men,

If you invest in this white suit on your big day,  you too will become a Lord, a lord with an obedient bride-slave that is. She will be,  as you’ve always fantasized for her to be, by your feet, like a dog, waiting for your every command. You may have noticed the big metal chains in the pic- from time to time, it’s a good idea to torture your woman,or at least ensure she remains fearful of you,  screw this whole women rights BS,  obedience is an essential element to every successful relationship.  But in general, this suit should keep her in check.  Pimp it up Yo.

I think I may have to strip the  folks who did the “Le Bijou est aussi un droit“ campaign off their “ Lebanon’s Shallowest Ad” title, this new Ad is by far the uncontested winner. What do you think? Bisoux
