This is the advertising image from funktionalley.com for oven mitts. Go look. I’ll wait.
Seriously?
This kind of advertising DEFINITELY makes me want to buy the product!
I wish companies in the U.S. would do this kind of stuff.
Until next time…

Spread the insanity: 
If it comes with a shapely bum like that… I’ll buy one too… I need one.
What about the children? Won’t someone please think about the children?
I’m an advocate of naked cooking, unless there’s hot oil involved. But, thou shalt not cook bacon whilst naked – owie owie owie. Better yet – stay naked and have your partner (who cooks much better than I do) cook whilst you drink mimosas.
Erik replies:
The Husbear attempted that once, the cooking naked. Just once. And it involved bacon.
“I’m so hot, I need these mitts to touch anything.”
Erik replies:
It’s almost the Midas complex… almost.
Hmmm. Perhaps if he was in profile and was wearing a ‘lower’ oven mitt.
Erik replies: Then it’d look like he was stump fucking the Arby’s Oven Mitt…?
@ Erik: And what would be wrong with that?
Erik replies:
Which part? The stump fucking?
Sex sells. It works especially well with men, who are much more visually oriented than women. While I (greatly!) appreciate the beauty of that behind, it in no way encourages me to buy the oven mitts. I will buy an oven mitt based on it’s performance as an oven mitt, not as a decoration framing one of the sexiest asses I’ve seen in a while. (really nice ass, there) I’m not particularly fond of oven mitts, I prefer hot pads.
I know you’ve seen nekkid or near nekkid ladies advertising socket wrenches or some such. Sex sells socket wrenches to straight guys. Sex sells oven mitts to gay guys.
nice lil’ bum tho’. very grabable.
I chuckled at that, he is using the oven mitts to get the buns! Although I would be interested to know a few things.
1. How well does sex oriented advertising work based per gender?
2. how does that data correlate to the IQ of each individual?
For instance, does sex sell only to men, or only to people with a low IQ, or men with a low IQ? Maybe sex sells to women and they just don’t like admitting it? All relevant questions I wish I knew the answer to.
really? you like hairless, airbrushed ass? i’m genuinely surprised.
Erik replies:
I was distracted by the awesomeness of the mitts themselves.
Oven mitts … hot buns … makes sense.
Erik replies:
I wonder how many people actually made that association when they saw the ad?
