Now here’s a campaign that doesn’t beat around the bush…even thought there is beating and bush involved. Rarely do we find ad campaigns so blunt and so bold and so, pray tell, graphically honest as this one. Reminiscent of those fake PUMA ads years ago, this campaign for Hombre Magazine doesn’t bother to dance lightly around what some of its readers do when reading the magazine.

Created by Leo Burnett Buenos Aires, this is a campaign we’d never see in America because, God forbid, we admit anyone ever in their entire life ever looks at “dirty” magazines or masturbates. Adland has the campaign’s entire series of ads here.
