I must say I find this kind of rhetoric quite disturbing too. I mean, it doesn't really stand out in a campaign where 95% of ads are childish and destined to idiots, but I'm still not a fan.

And yeah, the similarity with Putin's stuff is disturbing too.

Bleh. I really hate that stuff like this is okay. We're all expected to be incredibly politically correct about some things, yet openness about sex seems to have no ceiling. I really don't like it. Does absolutely everything have to be about sex appeal and consumer culture? What happened to, you know, values?

Wow, I can't believe I actually agree with Hagrid.

I'm not "outraged" at this ad in any way, but I honestly don't like it and I think it indeed reflects something wrong about modern society. If that makes me a puritan, then yeah, I might be one. But I actually think puritanism and the oversexualization of society are actually two faces of the same coin, and that both are equally opposed to an appeased, reasonable approach to sex which remains respectful of individual intimacy.

Thank you!

That commercial was disturbing. It actually was. I cringed. The Russian one was cute and funny. This was liberal and the woman was tattooed and urgh, the commerical progressive and hipster and all around..urrgh!

Like I said, the Russian one was funny, this was just so hipster in its sensibilities, whatever that even means.

*facepalm* The Putin one was just as disturbing. This is why nobody should take you seriously.

Am I the only one who, while laughing at the GOP's ridiculous outrage about this, still isn't fond of the ad?
