So Dov Charney is not lockstep with the PC brigade. Big whoop. Nobody christened you the determiners of ALL THAT YOU SURVEY anyway.

It is GREAT to finally see one guy (only ONE?!?) sticking his finger in the eye of the PC police.

If women (and men) were not utterly delighted by the conceit, nobody would be buying his concept or his clothes.

As for the vibe, it makes one numb. Better to pick one of the ones promoted by Dr. Ruth or the Canadian Nun Lady, which make interesting movements rather than numbing one to death.

Anyone who also spent the 70's reading KinFlicks should be very very wary of any vibrator that plugs into a 110 volt outlet.

Just saying.

I don't know, a toy that requires being plugged into the wall seems a little . . . much for me. I'm picturing a vibrator that looks and sounds something like a big vacuum cleaner. Especially when you have roommates, discretion is good.

Apparently you're in the Dallas area, but the rest of the world doesn't have a Condom Sense. Far as I can tell, Condom Sense has all of four stores, hardly every suburban stripmall.

Don Charney is a sleaze and his product has gotten cheap, odd and unflattering. Who wants to look like they’re in a 1980s work out video? And what’s up with all that metallic lame? I think this company has become a bit of a joke even if the t-shirts are nice.

And the vibrator? It’s just cheap publicity and I’m sort of annoyed with myself for even responding to it. I’d rather be talking about the sexual harassment cases against Charney.

Anyway - if I really wanted to kick it old school/ironic with my Magic Wand purchase (and they are nice – not scary or too loud IMO) I’d go to Sharper Image.

AA is sleazy, indeed. Not kitschy, not cute, not funny, certainly not ironic, just plain nasty. The image they work so hard to display is porn-obsessed, woman-hating and pedophilic. Their sleaze is not redeemed by whatever labor practices they claim. It is not surprising that bs35 would admire them.

porn-obsessed, woman-hating and pedophilic.

Any proof of this or is this just a bald declaration without any evidence?

Questions:

Is porn a BAD thing to you?

How does he hate women? Does his camera assault them?

What do you mean by pedophilic? If he is utilizing girls under 18, you might have a point. My feeling is he is not that stupid.

My feeling is also that your kind of victorian finger pointing is on its way out. No denying it, Feminism has been exposed as being anti-male-sexuality. Many guys who SHOULD be on the side of feminism no longer buy it. Most younger WOMEN no longer buy it either.

Frankly, I find AA ads one of the few that I consider TRULY sexy. Most other ads out there are less flattering to women, portraying them as dolls or tools or ornaments. AA ads show girls with all the imperfections, being genuinely sensual and relaxed and in control of their sexuality (whatever that crap phrase means). It is flattering for the camera photo to assert that a girl in her natural state is pretty enough and good enough, that photoshopping her to death is NOT the right answer.

Miss Prude, have fun inventing something new to annoy men with because the anti-male-sexuality meme is neanderthal at best.

C'mon feminists, wake the fuck up. No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to KILL male sexuality. So quit trying. Take your head out of your feminist hate cookbooks and begin to LIVE LIFE. Nobody FORCES you to sit in front of Mr. Charney's camera.

Maybe Britney or Paris is more flattering to women huh? Maybe all women, in your mind, should wear burkhas so no man EVER gets a woodie (egads!).

Grow up already, big baby. American sexuality is garbage enough without you having to ride this company too.

If you are a sexually active heterosexual guy, you need to get one of these Magic Wands. If your significant other wants some action and you just aren't in the mood, pull out the wand, maybe put on an attachment, and do the 110V deed. It is surprisingly time-efficient too.

Good sex is hopefully ALWAYS sleazy and nasty.

Again, if you are so against men having sexual thoughts, are you prepared to take all romance novels and Cosmos out of bookstores and implant electrodes into ALL women so that in case a woman has a sexual thought, she can be painfully zapped out of it?

Well, quit kvetching about men too, potato brain.

I usually perceive AA's ads as sexy. Very few ads are, most just feature skin with no result other than tackiness. Dov Charney might be sleazy, but that's never the word that comes to mind when I see his company's ads. The women in those things look like cute ladies in comfortable clothes.

And you know who looks like they're in an 80s workout video? The "Call on Me" dancers. That one's also almost comically sexy: http://www.youtube.com/user/digitalpressure

always get so neurotic and fingerpointy when a man says something about what most of them are already thinking about?

It exactly as when a woman is the FIRST to utter a sexual comment, make a sexual joke, etc and a man responds.

She IMMEDIATELY accuses him of being sexist.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................

I am not surprised that bs finds ads modeled on the lowest-budget 70s porn featuring underaged models to be appealing. Or that he equates sex with nastiness and thinks sex and porn are the same thing, since those are some of the lessons porn teaches its addicts. Or that he winds up into a spastic little ball lashing his flagella and whining about prudishness when someone calls out sleaze for what it is.

How big is the toaster?
