absolut mango sex

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.

today on the tyra banks show...

so interesting.

the first one is sorta fake i think. but i will say that they all are plausible.

if anything, this will be a good conversation piece.

if you click to the youtube link, you'll be able to watch the other four parts to the show.

thandie newton and ricky gervais

hilarious. thandie's a little too thin methinks.

short circuit

my friend just lent me ghost in the shell 1 & 2 and while watching the second one... i realized that there’s some idea borrowing back and forth.... most notably... the robots.

chris cunningham’s video for bjork’s song is amazing. since then, i’ve seen it on i-robot and some vodka ads.... and then when i watched i am legend... the zombies in that also looked like the same robots except with skin. not too inventive... oh well.

ALL IS FULL OF LOVE - bjork



GHOST IN THE SHELL 2 : INNOCENCE

you can fast forward to about 4:30 seconds into it when they finally go visit a crime lab for robots i think... and then the woman who talks is haraway... which i believe is based after philosopher donna haraway who writes about cyborgs, anamatrons, gender issues and other crazy interesting stuff. you can def youtube her if you’re interested.

TABO’S DOLLS

just something i found while youtubing all this stuff. japanese people are CRAZY inventive. demure on the outside, freaky on the inside!

i don’t have an issue with this besides the fact that the translator’s voice is super creepie... making tabo sound creepie... but he doesn’t sound that creepie in japanese...
