absolut mango sex


click on image to enlarge.

i have been hearing great fun things about rupaul's drag race show.... so i decided to catch the first episode to see if it's worth it and i wholly agree. it is fun. i totally recommend it.

anyways, one of the sponsors of the show is absolut vodka, mango.

so every 6 minutes or so, there's a little mini commercial that goes on while it loads to the next part of the episode and i find myself staring at the ad... A LOT.

it's effective because it's so sensual. at first, i couldn't figure out that it was a mango. it was just too sexual and disturbing at the same time... and then once i realized what it was, it made me wonder why they would have used these images for their ad.

i mean, after all, it's a show on drag queens... wouldn't this work better on the spike channel? i initially took it to be very feminine... not gay.

i immediately thought two things: munch's the scream and a developing fetus in the uterus.... and then i thought georgia o'keefe because of the colors. it's so organic.

and then while i was collaging the images together to show you what i mean, i started looking at it again... and then i realized how GAY sex it was...

1. look at the positioning of the bottle... it looks a lot like anal sex.
2. the mango has a giant seed (sperm!). you use the phallic bottle to seed the fleshiness.
3. the word "comes" is exactly at the entrance of the ass.
4. the motto "true taste comes naturally" is sorta referring to bareback sex.

so i stand corrected. this is a very gay ad.
