Mini-Skirt, Bikini, Rubber Duck, Giant Pencil Sell…Something

Thank God for Flickr because without it, we wouldn’t have these WTF-inducing advertising images catching our eye as we scroll hundreds of ad images every day. This one, apparently for some king of orange juice (?), features a kid with a giant pencil, a bikinied woman straddling a rubber duck (read what you will into that) and an impossibly leggy woman with an impossibly short (OK, we’ve seen shorter) mini-skirt and an impossibly long knife…nest to an orange. Whatever.

And yes, we’re sure it all would make perfect sense if we could read the language the ads were written. But, then, what fun would that be?
