Lickable


Oh. My. GOD. I don't even know where to start with this...
I mean, really...how many people did this get past? How many people looked at this and thought, Oh, isn't that cute? How many people looked at this without a second thought at decency??
The ad exec, the supervisor, the customer, the printer... I'm sure there are scads of people behind the scenes on this one...and not one thought, "Y'know... now that I see this in print, the idea isn't so cute after all..."

  3. I Googled this ad and it is a hoax. I read the little paragraph which made me suspicious and then there are references to the 2005 and 2008 Olympics as well as the fact that they have the Breyers logo, but the package looks like the Popsicle brand packaging.

    I was totally relieved to find out that this was a satirical ad. While I don't think it is funny in the least, I was relieved to find out that it didn't make into any pedophile's dream magazine.

    After seeing the picture I was afraid to read the fine print. Cheers to you being so detail oriented.

    Still... its frightening someone still came up with it, no?
