He’s jerking with the ecstasy of the 6 Hour Power stuff. This is going to enable him to sexually satisfy the secretary, who appears, not under the desk, but in the final frame.
Stupid ad.
I’m assuming that’s a picture of his girlfriend/wife that breaks when if falls off the desk. So not only is he a seizing douche bag, he’s a cheater, too!
How about this guy? :eek:
The secretary (or at least her arm) is across the room when he stands up, so while it’s suggestive, I think it’s deliberately ambiguous.
That is indeed one hot secretary, though.
From the Slate article:
First of all, how disingenuous and pathetically tacky to assert that the prurient interpretation is solely in the viewer’s head. It’s only in the viewer’s head because it is strongly implied by the ad. This is not a mistake of something innocent, this is a deliberately leading ad that just manages to have a double entendre.
Second, the secretary isn’t scantily dressed? It’s not beyond what a woman might wear at the office? Maybe on Ally McBeal, but unless she’s the receptionist at a brothel, no office professional is going to wear that low cut a top or that short a skirt in an environment where she’s trying to be taken seriously. Any business with a sense of respectability is not going to let someone with whom the clients interact dress like that, unless her job is to give them a hardon so they can’t think straight during the negotiations.
Karen Finocchio is a lying bag of excrement.
And yes, that commercial is stupid and tacky and gives the viewer the wrong impression about their product. (The stuff will make me come in 2 minutes!)
Ah, I see it’s a product by the same folks who make Stacker 2. They’ve got a long history of tacky, prurient adverts, IIRC.
Well, she is the VP of Marketing.
Apropos of not very much, “finocchio” is Italian for fennel (here’s a picture of the vegetable), and is also, in Italy, slang for “homosexual” (specifically with the connotation of “sissy queerboy” as opposed to leather daddy or whatever). Just FYI and stuff.
