AdFreak describes new work from Hunky Dorys as “an advertising campaign that pairs scantily clad females playing a contact sport with suggestive headlines in a blatant attempt to curry favor with the young male target market.”

Um. Well, isn’t that the entire point? What’s blatant about using images of hot, half-dressed women to catch men’s attention? It’s basic human nature. Men love hot women. Men want to be with hot women. And when they can’t…which is most the time…they settle for staring at hot women. In magazines. On TV. On the internet, In porn flicks. And, yes, in advertising which, if you think about it, is really a public service of sorts.

Keep a man happy with hot women in ads and they might not stray to more prurient and dangerous behaviors. Hey, it’s just a thought. And besides, what man really wants to stop seeing hot women in suggestive ads?

As long as men are on this planet, the collective desire to see hot women in various states of undress will never cease.

So yes, men think women are scrumptious, they want them as their own, they want to tackle them and hey will never stop staring at their crisps.
