However, this Australian ad for Naked brand condoms which shows a couple 'trying out' the condom in the drug store was so racy that even typically liberal Australia decided it was too much.

Racy ad
In the world of advertising, the US is known for being among the strictest when it comes to morality, nudity, and implied sex. Many ads are perfectly acceptable in Europe and Asia, but are unacceptable here.
However, this Australian ad for Naked brand condoms which shows a couple 'trying out' the condom in the drug store was so racy that even typically liberal Australia decided it was too much.
Personally I didn't find all that racy. What do you think?

Helping hands
I'm on my way home from Richmond today so I prepared this in advance.
AT&T has chosen painted hands (and sometimes arms) in a very creative ad campaign to illustrate their network's worldwide coverage. Look closely at the following ads, then notice the country in the tag line. Very cool!

Friday fragments
Condoms
Remember a few weeks ago when the Pope decided to go from being a religious leader to being a public health specialist? He said 'condoms worsen the AIDS epidemic'?? Well Patrick Boivin came up with a very clever, very funny response! The tag at the end reads "Don't be stupid. Use condoms." Perhaps subliminally, I read "Don't be stupid. Don't listen to the Pope." Don't you love creative people?
Winner
Speaking of creative, not to toot my own horn, but I won Kevin's "Caption This!" contest on his blog The Lisp. Don't believe me? Click here and see it for yourself.
Amazon scandal
Did you smell the big stink over Amazon.com's alleged removal of gay books from its rankings? Gay romance author Mark R. Probst noticed that days ago the sales rankings disappeared from two newly-released, high profile gay romance books on Amazon.com. The next day hundreds of GLBT books simultaneously lost their sales rankings, prompting many to wonder if Amazon was attempting to suppress the visibility of gay books. Probst learned that Amazon excludes “adult” material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, "adult" materials must also be excluded. Amazon.com responded that it was a glitch and is fixing it. Life lesson: Don't mess with a queen's sh*t!!!
Adidas
Just in case you haven't seen the homo-erotic Adidas ad yet, click here. I have no idea what they're selling, but I'm pretty sure I need one.
Matt Alber
My friend John sent me this video, which I fell in love with! I'm not sure why, but it just speaks to me. I've never heard of the artist, Matt Alber. His voice reminds me of Rufus Wainright and his face (after the shave) reminds me of a very young Bruce Willis. Watch/listen to this video and try NOT to be affected.
Happy Friday, everyone!

Old fashioned ads
A friend sent me an email with these old fashioned ads. You can click to enlarge. These were actual advertisements! My, how times have changed.
The witty dialog below each ad is mine.
Enjoy!
In other words, just because she acts like a lady doesn't mean she isn't a whore, so protect your pecker.
I think what he's trying to say is 'Blow in her face and she'll blow in your crotch'.
Okay, so who's joining me on the tape worm diet???
How do you give a gift that says 'I really don't like you that much'? Gift wrapped cigarettes: the old fashioned equivalent to the fruitcake.
Lysol - its not just for cleaning toilets and floors anymore!
All this time you thought the secret to happiness was money, fame, and fortune.
Well, don't mind if I do!
In your "T-Zone", not your G-spot.
Because Lord knows you don't want to have to expend any extra energy to open that damn beer.
