Olympic Medals For Subhumanal Advertizing

Now I can’t eat ice cream.

While this isn’t actually subliminal, more like slapping you in the face, it still pisses me off.

Check out these examples of Olympic advertizing. This is a Bryers ice cream ad for the 2008 Olympics. They say they innocently support USA Gymnastics. You tell me.

While we all know it isn’t blatantly sexy like those “Improve Your Flexibility” Radiator surfwear ads,

We know what they’re selling. And its disgusting. Mainly because of the target audience.

See I believe in American freedom, to each their own. Anybody can do anything and that’s great, the way it should be, the American dream. If you want to sell sex toys, wonderful. Want to sell ice cream, awesome. But target your audience. Don’t sell dildo ice cream scoops to children. The surf ad above is for adults. The ice cream ad is for children and families. That’s the problem. If they were selling lickable ice cream stickers for adults in sex shops, fine. More power to you. But don’t give us this kind of pedophilic crap in a general public ad for a family product.

Hell, even the 2008 Roller Derby pin-up girl calendar was cleaner. It was risque in a coy World War II fighter planes for freedom sort of way.

Olympic sponsors should stick to ads like this:

Olympics ads should feature athletes, sure, but simply competing with lots of rings and peace symbology. Throw in a few gold medals for good luck. That sort of thing. Skip the juvenile crotch shots, please.

Oh well. I’ll put up with anything, just so long as they stop using Bruce Lee to sell the new BMW X3, or John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, or anyone else who is dead and can’t choose for themselves, as their new perverted forms of virtual manipulation.
