! ! ! RED Alert ! ! !

So, there I was... innocently riding the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit = subway) to meet some friends for dinner.

I was looking around for the MRT map to check on my transfer point and BEHOLD!


NOOOOOO!!! NO, NO, NO!!! GOOD LORD!!!

Sisters, run and lock up your uterus!!!

What, in the name of all that's holy, is going on here?!?!? How could any woman forget nature's clockwork cruelty?????



I looked around to see if any other female or even metrosexual or run-of-the-mill-regular male beings have noticed this subway poster but alas, I did not find a kindred spirit in the car. I was left to giggle uncontrollably... madly... by myself.


I did get strange looks. But no worries, my friends.

They looked away (and perhaps inched away) when I pulled out the camera to click away happily at the poster.

Remember, only Kotex Ultrathin can provide you that "instant long lasting dryness"... what does that even mean?

Is it me? Is this not funny? You tell me.

Red alert is right -- when ad copy goes wrong, it goes really wrong! I love the idea of you giggling madly and whipping out your camera in the subway car.

Seriously, I don't remember seeing an ad this blatant in NYC about fem prods. Is this effective or tacky? I will let your cultural benchmark be the judge. Here's a nice open letter on McSweeney's while you mull it over. http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/openletters/6always.html
