And You Thought the Method Shiny Suds Ad Was Offensive

Oh look! Just in time to counteract all the hoopla over the Shiny Suds “rape scenario” fiasco. Tit for tat as they say. If you believe the woman in the Method Shiny Suds commercial was somehow being sexually assaulted by those leering, dirty-minded bubbles, you’ll definitely relate to the horrific plight of the man in this Orangina commercial who is verbally taunted, assaulted with a whip and forced to strip while he fears for his life.

Oh the horror of it all! The insensitivity to the plight of men! Reducing a man to nothing more than a caged plaything! How dare Orangina portray men as sexual objects for S&M-fixated women! It’s as if sexually assaulting men is an acceptable form of behavior! Good God. What has this world come to?

What? No cause group outrage over this one?
