Just when you think you know someone. Intern Katie sent me this naked image. It's an ad for PS3. (Full version probably wouldn't be considered safe by your uber conservative IT department.)
Two comments:
1. It's insane that an ad like this would never be safe in the U.S., but we're allowed to show killing, dismemberment, and other murderlicious imagery.
2. I don't get it. It's meant to appeal to men, to promote a Playboy PS3 game. But are men who are interested in Playboy also interested in nearly naked man pics? I don't think so.
Thanks, Katie. I think.

For some reason, Lou Reed comes to mind!- Spud
I'd hate to be the poor bastard in the art department that has to Photoshop out a wang.
Then again, maybe that male model just had a horrible accident and it wasn't a Photoshop- the doctors had to attach something down there for the poor fella' and they decided on taking a thumb?
::grin:: If you can get past the freaky thumb the rest is nice to look at!
Seriously though... how is this ad any worse then the stuff Victoria's Secret is putting out now... especially during prime time TV?! Last night during Grey's we must have seen the same type of size -4 scarcely clad VS chicks rolling around in their "incredi (insert strange industrial prefix here)-bra" commercials 6 or 7 times... I think Hanes needs to step it up. ;)
When is the line drawn on what's acceptable in advertising???
