A handful of racy ads that shock even me
When it comes to racy and possibly offensive advertisements, I say bring it on! The more messed up the better. But these recent ads even make me blush. You have to wonder what the companies were thinking.
First, there’s the now-infamous “2 Girls, 1 Sub” piece, which is more of an ad for Playboy than Quizno’s, but you wouldn’t know it just by watching the ad. There’s been some debate as to whether Quizno’s actually had any involvement in the making of the ad, but I seriously hope they had nothing to do with it. First of all, it’s named after a video about eating poop, so the already-nasty Quizno’s sandwiches will now forever be associated in my mind with vomit-inducing quasi-scat-porn. Secondly, the orgasmic sounds in the background are completely gratuitous and turn what could easily be a Carl’s Jr.-type food porn commercial into something far more inappropriate. Observe.

Next is an ad for the Stacker (read: trucker’s meth) brand’s energy product known as 6 Hour Power. No explanation is needed. Watch for the wife’s framed photo crashing to the ground as the boss gets a ’special visit’ from his secretary…so callous, but so true.

And of course, I have to present the blow-up doll print ad from Burger King, even if print ads aren’t really my thing. It’s just too good.
Here’s a close-up of the semi-spicy copy at the bottom of the ad:
