10 Times Advertising Went A Bit Too Far

I think someone has a bit of a "lady problem".

10 Times Advertising Went A Bit Too Far

The sex appeal of women has always been an immediate seller in ads, which shouldn't be much of a shocker to you (but if it is, please crawl out of the rock you're under). But I'm curious, do these advertisers have a bit of a lady problem? I wonder if they're married. Here are 10 times advertisers took it a bit too far.


1. Burger King.

Americans love fast food, boys love girls, and apparently, girls love opening their mouths for the Super Seven Incher. This one will "blow your mind away." Pun intended, Burger King.


2. Lynx deodorant.

Its Thanksgiving and I'm making the turkey (right, because only girls cook) in my underwear of course. But you'll only get this type of treatment if you buy Lynx deodorant.


3. Kenwood.

Speaking of cooking, kitchen aids don't cook and men don't cook, but women do.


4. Tipalet cigarettes.

Blow smoke in my face and I can guarantee I won't follow you anywhere, but I will let the door hit you on the way out.


5. Van Heusen.

Considering women make up 51 percent of the population, I wouldn't consider it a "man's world."


6. Manigale.

Last time I checked, my motor bike didn't come with a model. I'm not sure the appeal would be the same, either, if we replaced those long legs with this dashing male model.


7. BMW.

Ah, a classy a car. "You know you're not the first," but you're definitely not going to be the last, first, middle, or anywhere in that line up. You can't treat a girl as a car. Doesn't drive the same way, nor do we run off of gas and money. Try affection.


8. Del Monte ketchup.

It's a ketchup bottle. Of course women can open it. Don't think you're so superior because you're a man and can open a lid to a bottle of ketchup.



9. Madison Avenue.

This may come as a shock, but my best friend is not a kitchen appliance.



10. Natan Jewelry.

I wonder if when they sell this, on their guarantee it says, "If she doesn't open her legs after proposing, you can refund after 30 days."

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.
