Penis Photos, Oddly Placed Ads, Body Manipulation

Reverse Cowgirl directs us to a weird series of photos involving penises dolled up like faces to showcase KSUBI sunglasses. What struck us was not the penises but the other ads that appeared on the Papermag blog.

This Zune ad at the top of the page uses the same idea, manipulating elements of hands and fingers to create faces and features. Cool juxtaposition.

And we couldn’t help smiling at the Dewar’s ad whose tagline, “The quality of the article should be its greatest advertisement,” was just too funny alongside the penis shots.

Oh, man. Can somebody please write a book or at least some kind of blog on the delicate feng shui involved in web ad placement?
