Sexy or Sexist?
As Media Circus says, "Anyone can make sexist ads but it takes a certain amount of focus, greed and sheer insensitivity to make ads like the ones below".
To be fair, most ads featuring men these days always make them look like hopeless buffoons. So, in summary, women are mindless sex toys and men are just mindless.
It's sexist... but the woman in the ad knows what she likes, and it isn't the audience, so it's kind of an insult to their customer, too. If this ad applies to you, then you must be sexually unappealing, and don't have a hope in hell with a woman like this. It re-enforces the stereotype of the computer nerd as sexually-desperate and virginal. Sad. Pathetic. Lonely.

Interesting site, thanks.
Yikes. Gotta love greed and sheer insensitivity. LOL
although it is insensitive. i am, for one, pro-blowjobs
Actually the stupidity of it made me smile a little bit, then I noticed a formatting error/typo... lol (my training)
LOL @ furiousball. The ad got a laugh out of me. I thought it was quite clever..LOL

Actually, I think it's quite funny. Sexist, but funny. That almost forgives it.
At least it's funny. Sexist but a clever word play.
I have to say, I don't think it is particularly clever or funny. Unless 8th grade humor is clever and funny.
Riot!

Dumdad - yep the site is very interesting.
Choochoo - yeah.... gotta.

Animal - yeah that typo jumped out at me too. Similar training.
Suzan - You can always count on Furiousball for a pithy comment
XUP - yep, that pretty much sums it up.
Ian and BB - Funny in an adolescent boy kind of way.
Citizen - you gotta remember who this is geared to...
Susan and Sandra - It's pretty much all been said, eh?
Jocelyn - Wow, I never thought I'd see the day.
