Vogue Netherlands shoots Ymre Stiekema breastfeeding, internet howls "NSFW"!

Vogue via HuffPo

My only concern is whether or not this pic features her own baby. Ms. Stiekema gave birth to a baby girl last December, but the one in the picture looks rather young.

I don't know why I'd think that a mother deciding to objectify her own baby is better than objectifying someone else's. But the idea of breastfeeding portraits is quite well established, from the Virgin Mary to Kate Hansen. And I think they do a society good, no matter how pretentious. (I'm looking at you, Erwin Olaf.)

Nonetheless, The Huffington Post shared the pic with an "NSFW" (not safe for work) warning, and The Cut's headline was "Have You Seen Naked Breast-feeding Vogue Model Mom?"

The baby was unavailable for comment.

Target audience: ski bums (nudity)

The T-bars are history, read these ads for Norwegian skiers. And if I had ever experienced this kind of discomfort, these ads would have my full attention.

Equal-opportunity nudity done with strategy and humour. I approve.

Fishing Lure or Sex Toy?

The funny thing about branding is what it tells you about the target market. In the case of fishing gear, that market includes some rather unsophisticated guys who use a lot of sexualized language and imagery when discussing their favourite sport. The result is brand names that sound... well... dirty.

Click the list of brand names below to see pictures of the products they promote. But before you click, try to guess if it's a lure or a sex toy. You might be surprised.

(And, it should go without saying, that the sex toy images may not be appropriate for the workplace, library, or a computer you share with your mom.)

F'd Ad Fridays: The stupid Skittles porn spoof ad you've already seen

And if not, don't bother. It's silly, the audio will get you fired, and the multicoloured money shot is poorly SFXed.
