Condom makers are notorious for pushing the boundaries of good taste and propriety when it comes to advertising their products, but then again, they only make money when people fuck a lot, so they sort of have no choice. Of course, us silly Americans wouldn't know anything about that since 90% of their commercials (or the good ones, anyway) never make it to our airwaves. We have to rely on viral videos to filter into our inbox years later and only then can we appreciate what it's like to live in a country that isn't afraid of non-babymaking sex. Pointing you towards a few of them is also our way of reminding you to be responsible out there, because we can't always protect you when you leave teh internets—though we will always be ready to pull you back to our warm, safe bosom when you need us.

Everyone knows that sex sells, but it sells even better when what you're selling is, well ... sex. Whether you're a blogger trying to get clicks (ahem) or a European cable company trying to get viewers to turn into your porn channels, you really can't go wrong with naked chicks rubbing on each other and dancing to bouncy pop tracks. Unfortunately, our rabbit ears don't pick up signals from the Benelux countries, but if Prime's "X-Passion" programming is as interesting as these promos we just might consider upgrading to satellite.

Imagine our excitement when we heard whispers of an interactive webcam that allowed you to adjust the water temperature of an open-air beach shower frequented by bikini-clad hotties ... and our crushing disappointment when we soon found out that it was just another viral advertisement for Axe body spray. Still, the illusion was good while it lasted, complete with fake sidebar weather readings and suitably amateurish web design. And we did have a few minutes of fun playing with that temperature slider to see how long we could keep said bikini-clad hottie rubbing herself beneath the shower's spray. But we're no more compelled to cover ourselves with Axe's sickly-sweet-smelling product than we were before we came across the whole shebang. Our not-so-latent beach voyeur fantasies, however, have at least been sated in a way that doesn't intrude on anyone's privacy ... for now, anyway.

In what can only be described as a cheap and tawdry stunt completely unworthy of the dignified world of corporate advertising, British skin care company Elave is using nude spokespeople to push its latest brand of "cleansers" and "moisturizers". The new campaign, cheekily titled "Nothing To Hide", features a website and commercial starring a totally naked pitchwoman who tries to convince customers of the alleged purity of their products. That any marketing executive would stoop to crass tricks like full-frontal nudity (male and female, even!) and dirty puns just to sell some face wash is a deplorable spectacle and we're sure that the rest of their more respectable peers in advertising community will take them to task, perhaps even shunning them for besmirching the respectability of their profession. Plus, we only have basic cable so we'll probably never get to see these ads on TV. Now we're really outraged.
