More on that Vodka Ad

From the "speaking of sucking" category (see a few other posts from today)…
A week or so ago I posted an entry about a vodka ad that showed a guy getting head. Well, that's not the only such ad in existence.
Check this shit out! The ads shown on that page (one is to the right, here) show very clearly a girl giving a guy a blow job, and there's a white creamy substance on her upper thigh. Puma capitalizing on sex for their ads? Noooo, you don't say!
The page, titled "Flirt, Squirt, and Sex Sells?" also features a larger version of the ad seen to the right. I didn't know about the site before today, but I'll be adding their RSS feed to NetNewsWire now.
(Update: March 11, 2003 - see TrackBack - I've been asked by Puma to remove the ad from this page. I am doing so. I suspect external links will be taken down shortly as well.)
