Toph Speaks

So, the other day Ray had an idea, which was to highlight some sexy print ads. I thought that Ray had a brilliant idea, and that’s what I’m here to do. Let’s look at some sexy ads, shall we?!

Obviously, American Apparel has always been known for printing sexy, provocative ads. However, this ad, which appeared on the back of Canadian Magazine, Vice Magazine. I’d say they threw caution into the wind, and made themselves a pretty nice looking ad. Believe it or not, it’s not porn. Promise…

Just to prove it to you, I also pulled this American Apparel ad. I think I need to find a way into their marketing department.

Moving on to foreign, sexy advertising for our next round. Of course, Canada is sexy and foreign… just… moving on.

Here’s the ad that got Ray to bring up this idea to me. It’s for what I can only assume is a Brazilian alcohol, Bit Copa. If this is just for a Lemon drink, then I’m moving. However, it’s very creative with the people on the body. I’d drink this stuff all day. You?

Sticking with the foreign ads, which is pretty much where we’ll be for the remainder of this article, this ad out of the United Arab Emirates is pretty phenomenal. It’s an ad for the WonderBra, and plays on the censorship of the UAE, while still highlighting the size of the boobies. Pretty genius, and she’s skillets, too boot.

Lynx Shower Gel’s ad “Wash Me” is about as clever as they come. Lynx, which appears to be like Axe in America, appealed to everything dudes want. Dirty chicks in their shower with words on their stomachs. Unfortunately, she has no face, which kind of ruins it.

It’s almost unfair to put a condom ad in here, but this one is both creative and hot. I mean, if I have enough time to do all this, something isn’t right, but that doesn’t make it less funny. I also like that they spell it Kondome.

Going back into Brazil, whose advertising agencies just know how to make it happen, here’s an ad for Cabana rum. As opposed to the Brazilian ad above, Cabana just gives us ass. And you know what? I don’t mind it one bit.

Coming back to America, here’s a Levi’s ad that shows us just how comfortable Levi’s RedTab can be. The chick is special, the ad is great.

Of course, if you haven’t seen these ads, which are causing a huge uproar here in the states, then you haven’t been paying attention. While Gossip Girl posted decent ratings, the CW is trying to up the ante. This ad, OMFG, did exactly what it was intended to do. I can’t wait till April.

My winner in terms of overall marketing campaigns goes, hands down, to JBS Underwear. The campaign, which was centered around men not wanting to see men in their underwear, worked. The problem is, I can’t find the actual company, JBS. Humm… coincidence? Here’s just a sample of a few ads that are out there…

My favorite ad of all, however, comes from our friends in Canada (Remember when they weren’t our friends, then our dollar fell below theirs? I hate that.) GoGo Lounge, which is easily one of the world’s best bars ran this ad entitled “Smoking.” I’m only going to assume it’s in response to a smoking ban, but when this is going on, really, who cares? Let’s go to Montreal!

We’ll have to do this again, huh? Tell me, what was your favorite?
