I so want to bed - I mean embed - that one.

Can we just grow up a little bit?
I thought women were the target market...
sounds like it is men who wear bras.
Is the a new market I didn't realize existed?

Same drummer. This is an ad for laser hair removal.
Domino: is it unlikely that a man might see this ad and suggest to a woman in his life that wonderbras are awesome?
Is it also out of the realm of possibilities that a woman might also find this ad amusing?

Uh yeah, bras are for women, 99% of bra advertisements are for men.

I dunno jetpacks, maybe you could do some research and ask a woman. This one finds it pathetic rather than amusing which makes your current data read that 100% of women asked dislike the ad. I'll wear a wonderbra for the "Hello Boys" effect but this is more wet t-shirt contest gag = not funny nor empowering, just Benny Hill. I can see why guys would find it funny though.

Aask - us guys don't find it really funny either...but it's still enjoyable on its own merits, highlighting this young actress and her display of sweet sweet...talent

An amply endowed, scantily clad woman? Someone alert Steve Hall!

Now that is funny.

Oh, these responses are just more of the usual. Relax about the bra adverts already!
Some of us accept (with a roll-of-the-eyes, certainly!) that men appreciate jiggling boobs. (And why not: if God wired 'em up that way, it must be useful for something! Like, say, propagation of the species?)
But there are also women who get all anxious about men liking jiggling boobs. They act snippy and snarky and maunder about girl power and act threatened.
I think it's because sometimes we don't feel secure in our own skin. Until I learned to relax about it, my man swiveling his head around to watch some flatbellied thing always made me grumpy. I felt like I had to compete.
But the truth is I don't have to compete with a 24 year old model at looking like a 24 year old model! (Good thing.) My guy's head will swivel a bit and always will; he's a good one in that he's discreet about it. But men are just that way, and it isn't a threat to womankind!
What matters is being happy in your own skin, and loving your guy with, um, enthusiasm. I think it will always be the best way to keep him: Make him happy he decided to keep YOU.
At least, it beats getting agitated and frowny about it! Or griping about "is it empowering." Who wants to spend time with that?

Great pornvertising. Fits perfectly with the brand identity.

Your guy must be a great dude who doesn't mind your head swiveling around after every tight-butted thin waisted six-pack abs young male. Oh, you don't do that? You should. There are so many pretty little eyecandy boys out there. Your man won't mind, or feel the least bit threatened if the eyecandy comes on to you with a wink back - after all he does it. Right?
As for the spoof ad, its shite. They needed big jiggly boobs and got a "classy" model. All wrong.
