Who's your ad agency, Humbert/Humbert?
Minding my own business on the elliptical machine when a Sears back-to-school ad pops up on the color LCD mounted at eye level.
A number of dancing young people appear on the monitor, all wearing various brands of jeans. Apparently, the jeans are on sale, and these kids are very excited.
And then the screen fills with a closeup of some 15-year-old's ass in skintight denim, shaking like a Polaroid picture. It lingers for a moment before they cut back to medium and long shots of gyrating adolescents.
I'm not a prude, but it was weird to see this girl's ass being served up for our consideration. I'm assuming the target audience consists of young people who want to look hip and sexy in homeroom this September.
And people who've eroticized children.
