A request for comments on an image
by Jack GrantBelow is an image from an ad I have seen widely on the sides of buses and other common areas for advertisements here in Grenoble. This photo is in the garage I park my car when I am at my apartment (the reflection of one of the fluorescent lights on the ceiling is clearly seen, sorry about that):
(click on the photo for a larger image)
I am looking for some comments on this image before I include it in a larger post on advertisements I have seen here in France. I had a rather strong reaction to the image, and I am wondering if it is shared by others.
Please leave your description of your response in the comments, or by email if you prefer.

You had a reaction? Are you trying to play down arousal or were you nauseated?
Details, man!
And my french is rusty at best. I’m getting, “And so it is what they wear a (or one?) something of the baby…”
Okay, so I butchered it. A little help?
(Oh. I am not aroused or nauseated. Just think it’s weird.)

I’m just thinking, that would be nice to come home to!

Some people will buy anything.
At least my wife - within days now of her 60th birthday - realised some twenty years back that there was only so much one can do against the passing of time. She is as she is, and I think she is still a damned fine looking woman.
And that sentiment is exactly why women buy the message… Quelle domage!
p.s. The message is “Just like the skin of a baby”.

First thing I thought was “she isn’t an infant any more get the stupid thumb out of your mouth.” Otherwise, she is a good look’n babe.

Advertising professionals like religious wingnuts realize that sex is the strongest human emotion/instinct and use it for control. That is one damned good looking woman and it works.

My reaction is limited to “damn, she’s good looking”.

Maybe she looks hot to a guy, but I just think she looks stupid sucking her thumb and the little black cartoon thingies are just ugly.

At first glance the bottle looked to me like a dildo and then her sucking her thumb well.. you get the idea.
Definitely innuendo stuff there… and then those dancing guys, one dancing on her hand with her thumb in her mouth.. more sexual innuendo.
