The top 50 most shocking ads of all time
Posted on 27. Mar, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
In that list is this 1970′s pinup of Burt Reynold’s showing off his ‘stuff’ for DIRECTV HD. Come to think of it – now that we see this truly repulsive image, we could swear granny had this exact poster secretly posted on the inside of her pantry door.
Good thing we don’t clean ourselves like cats do, otherwise by the looks of things poor old Burt would be in a constant world of pain with all the fur balls he’d have to deal with.

mmm… I don´t need that stupid comment: “…this truly repulsive image..”.
Why is repulsive?, your postmodern preconceived stetic principles doesn´t add anything. I´m not a gay but I think it´s a nice image of a real man, (no depilation age)

The 1970′s era embraced the natural human body, and body hair was considered sexy. The new millennium seems to promote pedophilia with everyone shaving their body hair to look like little boys and little girls. Finding that a sexual turn-on, well, that is truly repulsive not to mention disturbing. I prefer men and women to look natural, not like anatomically incorrect plastic dolls, but then I was raised in the 70′s by pot-smoking granola hippies, so you could say my mental acuity was affected by all that peace, love, and harmony with nature crap. My god, go find yourself some pics of naked little hairless boys and girls and get over it already. *shudders* creepy pederasts anyways…

Why should it be considered as repulsive? He’s just very comfortable in his own skin that’s all.
