And Now A Commercial Message

 Watch this commercial for the Schick Quattro TrimStyle for Women please. I'll wait..........


 


Notice anything? Did you watch the background scenery as the woman walked by? I don't know if I'm just hyperattentive or other people are just not "tuned in" to subliminal cues, but I found this ad glaringly unsubtle in its message: TRIM YOUR BUSH!!!

Schick has been running this commercial for quite a while now, and no one I've mentioned it to has noticed the pubic hair imagery until I point it out. I suppose if it's meant to work on a subconscious level, that makes it a successful ad, but it sure does make me feel like an odd duck! I never considered myself particularly pube obsessed. Never even had a bikini wax, much less a Brazilian (ouch!) Why am I the only one who immediately laughed the first time I saw this ad? Is it just me or are there others out there who "got" this commercial? Please tell me I'm not alone!
