skybytch 273 #1 April 5, 2001 Is it just me, or is the ad on the inside back cover of April's Skydiving magazine just a little... uh.... stupid? If you haven't seen it, it shows a bottle blonde with a nose ring sitting in a skanky tub full of hot dogs and a rubber ducky. This is advertising a skydiving classifieds website. Maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough but I really don't get what the chick, hot dogs, rubber ducky and a dirty bathtub have to do with skydiving... can anyone enlighten me?pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazerq3 0 #4 April 5, 2001 Ok here we go .... the chic and the hotdogs represent a female skydiver that thinks she's all that. For advertising purpose there going to use a woman!!!The rubber duck may throw you off but it saying no matter how good you think you are everyone even the hot dogs bounce (rubber) the ducky just goes with the bath tub. Now the tub being dirty...well thats just how your going to look if you do bounce!!! Hope this helps you all out!!!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fruce 0 #5 April 5, 2001 Dude, you are sooooooo wrong here. This ad is about addicktion pure and simple!. It’s obvious that this chick has “Hotdogwannaeatya”, an affliction that only affects women. This addicktion has reached epidemic proportions within the skydiving community!!! Clearly, her nakedness is symbolic of how we are born into this world. Due to her uncontrollable need to eat hotdogs (read sex) and through all of the pain and suffering it brings (read anal sex), she is trying to “clean away” (the tub) her ugliness (the really bad mascara). The rubber ducky is there to remind us all of how totally lame advertising can be………. frucehttp://www.fruce.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deleted 0 #10 April 5, 2001 I'm sorry (and I know that I'll get shit for this) but that chick is not cute......... that's what turned me off hotdogs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramon 0 #11 April 5, 2001 I thought it was pretty pointless myself. I did stare at it for a while wondering.....WTF?Parachutist is pretty much gloss and photos (compared to Skydiving magazine) and it is what we expect Wuffos to see when we represent our sport politically via the USPA. I thought that photo was unrelated to promoting the sport, and it was gross (even T&A value lost by the nasty hot dogs)...ha ha ha.bloo skiesramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
