sex

[nerve]

now that I have your attention, I'd like to point out to you that you've just been duped. you've fallen victum to an insidiously genious commercial tactic. rampant today as it ever has been, this cheap trick has unlimited applications. it's a subtle serpent. you can find it anywhere from a woman showing a little skin, to the letters s e x. (the latter is the most dangerous, because it looks the most innocent. it looks...medical.) you thought you knew that sex sells? I suggest you look around, and ponder on this some more.

This doesn't apply to me.

[Siиdяed]

'x' looks the most innocent? ...seriously? I think we did know sex sells. It's barely subtle at the best of times. But thanks for reminding us.

[GestaltAlteration]

Prostitution is one of the oldest professions...

[Siиdяed]

Deity is the oldest profession, surely?

[GestaltAlteration]

A wise guy, eh?

[nerve]

This doesn't apply to me. I know darling. that's because you're an angel. @ GA and Sindred: LOL

[CrimsonWolf]

Deity is the oldest profession, surely? Oh, touche

[Siиdяed]

Thank-you. It's funny 'til you get an attack of the epiphanies and decide there is no deity. In which case prostitute is probably more accurate.

[nina]

I know darling. that's because you're an angel. No, cause I wouldn't typically click on a thread only titled "sex" assuming it's rubbish (if it said evil sex that's a whole other story) but I noticed you started this thread, so I clicked.

[Siиdяed]

I clicked this thread in hope of pix. Bitterly disappointed.

[Grod]

I cheated. I held the mouse over the title for a sec to see what's inside. Then I came in here to tell you that.

[GestaltAlteration]

That's pure genius.

Peace sells .................................But whose buying?

Dave Mustaine.

[Man of Shred]

Dave Mustaine. Rocks! *insert headbang smiley here" I agree prostitution is an age old proffession and it is still used in today's society on so many levels. It's also a reason i don't buy women drinks if they don't also buy me one.

[Xox]

I was clicking on all the threads in Extended Discussion.

I held my mouse over the title and read the first couple sentences before clicking so I wasn't "duped" but I was expecting a more thorough post on marking sex, rather than simply giving me something to ponder. Although I do expect this thread to have ten times as many views as posts.

[nerve]

No, cause I wouldn't typically click on a thread only titled "sex" assuming it's rubbish (if it said evil sex that's a whole other story) but I noticed you started this thread, so I clicked. but that is why you're an angel.

[nina]

Then...I'm an evil angel.

Sex indeeed sells, but to me this is no news. have you seen it? The Axe commercials that would have you believe Sex Appeal can be bought in the form of Deodorant? Spray it all over you, no matter how ugly you are, and women are crawling all over you. Underwear is advertised on big billboards, but it's not the underwear that draws most attention but rather the nearly naked ladies wearing them. Musicians without Creativity and Talent put alot of cheap, barely dressed ladies in their videoclips and it actually sells. Have you noticed how the female body is displayed on nearly every TV channel there is? Ratings. I can't recall ever having seen The Female body in the Media in a Gracefull, Charming way. Only cheap lust-aimed images to attrackt the hypnotic attention of weak males, followed by the suggestion that buying certain worthless products is what they want. Hypnotic mindfuckers they are. Because I am not such a Hormone Driven Brainless hump of Intellectual Failure as most guys/men I see around me I am not sensative to this. Rather revolted instead. I have ceased watching TV alltogether.

Ever heard the song, "Billboard Love" by Uncle Bonsai? Genius. And the man is always smiling As he leans against his Cadillac And offers you your money back If you can beat his price And the woman's so beguiling As she rubs against her Chevrolet And offers you some repartee And motor trend advice And the heads are always spinning As the preacher holds the pearly gate For those who feed the Sunday plate With hopes to raise the dead And the dogs are always grinning As fleas and ticks destroy their coats While cowboys feed them milk bone floats And pat them on the head And the lawns are always happy And the kids are all well fed And the neighbors are as friendly as can be And the box of fettucine Spreads the word from out the parking lots The nutriments in every box Are just what they deserve And the girls in string bikinis Chase a never ending puberty While lifeguards sitting hubrisly Blow whistles at their curves And the kids are all in college And the lawns are all well groomed And the clothes are all as bright as white can be And all the pretty people In their latex gloves Living fortified and sugar free Riding off together In billboard love That's the only kind of love for me And the woman seems so daring As she sinfully enjoys a smoke And tells another risqué joke While other girls lament And the man is oh so caring As he sells you everything he can And offers an installment plan For just a small percent And the kids are all good Christians And the lawns are all but used And the neighbors love their coffee caffeine free And all the pretty people In their latex gloves Smoking Tipparillos by the sea Riding off together In billboard love That's the only kind of love for me Paper smooth complexion Teeth as white as tile Malibu perfection Pepsidented smile Over sexed and over sized Popular and pasteurized And all the pretty people In their latex gloves Waiting for the weekend to be free Living life forever In billboard love That's the only kind of love for me

Peace sells .................................But whose buying? Yay Megadeth! Anyways. Brilliant marketing ploy. Also, marketers sometimes deliberately exploit psychological phenomena to draw attention, for example "drive thru" or "you wlil pay aettntoin to me". ~

I came in when I saw O'nus was last poster. Edit: Oops.

[O'nus]

I came when I saw O'nus was last poster. With sex being the title of this thread, I am finding it very, very hard to resist making a sexual joke about this comment... ... I love you too, Cloud. ~
