29 March 2004 ~ Billboards

There's a few billboard advertisements that are annoying me just now.

Firstly, one for some sort of 'women only' water balloons by the name of Trojan. The lady on the poster is meant to look pleasurably 'satisfied' in some way or other and, to tell you the truth, when I was a boy and used to play with water balloons, I looked a lot more excited than she does in that photo. She looks like she's on the edge of an overdose induced sleep and a sneeze. Surely at her age she should still get some amusement out of them?

The second advert is for some type of facial cream that makes you look younger. They must have advertised for a '40 year old who looks like a 30 year old', and then ended up with her older sister. So, instead, the photo for this new cream shows an image of a 45 year old who looks 40 and claims she is 43 - thanks to this wonderful new cream.

It doesn't specify how long you are meant to use it before seeing results...so I guess they can get away with calling it 'new' when she obviously hasn't been using it that long.

Now then, remember this all of you mature ladies who want toyboys (mmm). The only responsibility of a man is to buy the waterballoons. We are not responsible for what happens when they burst and the wetness is released. You alone are responsible for taking care of the mess.
