In which I reveal Victoria's Secret

[QUOTE=tremorviolet]
Does she make it rhyme with “now”? "Cause that’s the part that’s really buggin’ me…
[/QUOTE]

Yeah, something like “brow” but with a weird “r” kind of sound at the end. Again, I love Australian accents but somethin’ just aint right 'bout that.

When pushing bras underwired,
Use not weak rhymes uninspired.
A pity: the Ars Poetica
Pairs well with passion erotica
Or was their lit’rary muse just too tired?
[/QUOTE]

Nicely done.

[QUOTE=CarnalK]
You guys are missing the most important problem. The limerick makes no sense! I’m afraid it is a mystery as to how a bra made partially from air is somehow lighter than air.
[/QUOTE]

Partly air and partly a vacuum, which is wrapped around the upper surfaces thus providing uplift. So the total density of the volume occupied by the bra is less than that of air.

The most important thing here is no one has as yet provided a link for the ad.

We now make a bra that is orange
boobies boobies boobies boobies
boobies boobies
boobies boobies boob
boobies boobies boobies bra

There may be lovelier poets,
but I doubt they have lovelier tits.
And thats why my ode,
Though it makes heads implode,
is thought, TV-wise, to be fit.

Oh how I hate hate hate this commercial. I’ve got no issue with Victoria’s Secret or with beautiful young women in their unmentionables, but sweet samurai, the sound of this chick’s voice just makes me see red. And I could usually listen to our Aussie friends talk all the live long day. I might even find her pronunciation of the word bra (“braaahr”) cute in casual conversation, but for some reason it just grates when the very thing she’s promoting is so oddly pronounced (to Yank ears, of course). I won’t even comment on the asinine poem. Just grrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:

Then mute the sound, and enjoy. Use your imagination man!!

There once was an angel so fair
Who’s bra was lighter than air
But the reason you see
and it’s no mystery
her bra cups were made out of air!

YOU CAN’T RHYME “AIR” WITH “AIR” ! Goddamnit! There was no-one in the entire VS organization, the ad agency, the film crew - anyone - who could have stopped this abomination?

Edward Lear was one of the most renowned practitioners of the Limerick form, and he usually hobbled the last line.

BADGER! BADGER!

When you’re pimping your lacy brassieres
Rhyming verse often tempting appears
But just don’t get sidetracked
From the vital impact,
Viz., the model’s enclosed hemispheres!

Underwear models can fly because we believe they can fly. It’s the same principle that makes air conditioning work.

I thought this was how Peter Pan flew. Air conditioning defies the laws of thermodynamics, and works through magic.

For you over-represented Dutchies here:

A hot-headed Drent in Ter Apel
who always ran too hard from staple
forsplintered his plate
when the waitress was late
and gave her a lell with the laple

[QUOTE=Isosleepy]
In a sign of the end-times surely being nigh, it has come to this: I’m ready to throw something at the TV every time this Victoria’s Secret commercial comes on.
[/quote]

You’ve remembered the company / brand, so the advert has been successful.

More importantly…

When I’m snuggling with a maiden so fair
And I’m starting to nuzzle her pair
Please won’t you tell
Why in heaven or hell
Would I want to squeeze handfuls of air?

The vital question hasn’t been answered: If one becomes a little rough with an ‘air bra’, does it make a farting noise and fly out the window? :eek:

Were I a prospective buyer of bras, yes. Had I any input regarding my GF bra purchases, maybe. Since I am not and do not, no.

And besides, the old saw that brand recognition and brand recollection reign supreme is BS. I still remember that “at Meineke, you’re not gonna pay a lot for a muffler” - and they’re right. I will spend exactly $0 at Meineke for mufflers or anything else…

Don’t piss me off to help me remember your brand. I’ll remember the association as well as the name.

Only if you give it a little prick.

You’re thinking of the guy, when the husband comes home…

[QUOTE=The Scrivener]
If the tits don’t fit, you must acquit…
[/QUOTE]

You can’t let the defendant have control of the key piece of evidence. Plus, she’s trying it on over a leotard, of course a bra’s not gonna fit on over a leotard. A bra’s gotta fit right up a person’s skin, like a glove! LIKE A GLOVE!!

I’ll pass on the bra-wearing minx,
whose poetry certainly stinks.
Rhymes and diction? Who cares!
Her boobs feel like…AIR!!
Flesh is oh so much better, methinks.
