Save the boobs.

Today we talk about a subject many people would be interested in.  That's right...boobies.  Hello boys.

Actually, we're gonna talk about breast cancer.

Wait!  Don't go!  Breast cancer PSAs tend to feature big sexy boobs!  Because if breast cancer isn't caught early, the world misses out on another set of lovely boobs.  I'm a bit fed up of busty women in bikinis...busty women doing a Nuts magazine boob-hold...busty women having a sexy boob-checking shower....

One can't help but wonder if we should all just grow up a bit.

Or maybe we don't need to grow up at all.  Maybe we just need to make ads that speak to the women who actually own the boobs, rather than focusing on how upset the men would be if the lady boobs went all wrong.

Maybe we need pretty boys making 'tits' (pun absolutely intended) of themselves in the name of saving women from cancer.  And in return, the ladies can do their bit for testicular cancer, in whichever way they find appropriate.....

I beg your pardon?

Sometimes, ads make you sit up and pay attention.  Sometimes they wind you up.  Sometimes they become iconic.  Most of the time you ignore them.

Occasionally you'll innocently be watching TV, eating your seventh bag of crisps, and an ad will make you do that comedy double-take thing that people only do in films when someone just got all sexy.

Like this one for Morrisons.  How did no-one involved in this read this script and think "Perhaps we should use a different variety of apple?" or "Perhaps the Morrison's employee shouldn't ask the young boy if his cox is fresh enough?"  

PERHAPS HE SHOULD NOT DO THAT. 

Watch, enjoy, smirk, report to the police.
