I find the ideas behind this advert campaign to be a mixture of the offensive; that women's sexuality/femininity should be exploited in such a manner.
To completely ludicrous that even if women mannequins did find cars an irresistible sexual turn on, that this would then translate to the probably spotty gawky 20 year old who had bought the car.
What do others think.

The advert is just cheap and tacky. Par for the course with a lot of things these days though. I can't imagine many taking it seriously. My first thought was that it looks like those poor girlies have had a terribly embarrassing accident! Sort of thing where any girl with a modicum of decorum would beat a hasty retreat - never to be seen in that place again!
Know what you mean about the hair, China. Slightest bit of moisture in the air - and whoosh - it's a gonna! Sorry boys, just a little diversion there. Do please carry on.

I've asked my Muslim friend about this (she wears western clothes incidentally - and make up!), and she said those women who hide themselves beneath all those wrappings do make the effort - but it's only for their husbands to see. Got to wonder if it's often a mad dash at 6pm while the potatoes are boiling!!
Naomi - I could fix your pneumatics, your hydraulics, your gearboxes and transmissions, and for you I would do it all for a special rate. But you have touched a raw nerve there oh Great Heart, for you know that inside every engineer there is a writer trying to get out! And a comedy writer at that! Oh what bliss that would be. A modest income from my scribblings that might even pay for the wifes catalogue and send the milkman away happy, clutching his cheque for fourteen pints of red top.
Surely it could happen? Surely there must be an upside to depression somewhere?
Being so old fashioned makes me feel like a square peg in a round hole. Or is it the other way around?
Mannequins or not, knickers around the ankles is not ladylike, so this advert is zero out of ten.

Well I do manage to make Waldo laugh, and chakka has immortalised me with a new word, "Thelandesque," so I might buy a copy out of my new found wealth.
I'll send you a P.M. with details, and hey, the rest of you, no begging letters please!
On the question of the failed elastic in the advert, an engineer would fix a pair of braces and a belt, and keep them up forever!
