Well, our diatribe against the objectification of women in advertising didn’t last long. Now we’ve got bulbous, bouncing, bikinied breasts helping explain the many meanings of the Australian term “mate.” It’s all to promote the Australian barbecue club www.aussiebarbie.com.au . And about getting people to submit their own videos explaining the versatility of the word. And about a girl in a cleavage-bearing bikini spouting all sorts of steak grilling double entendres suck as thickness, the effect of cold, proper use of oil, heat and more.

Maybe we should just give up pontificating about the objectification of women in advertising and just sit back and enjoy it.
