    A new super-hero, defender of all oppressed manipulated males. :D

    Years back I visited some old friends who'd moved to Idaho from California when we were in high school. To my dismay they lived on Coors Light, and they were freaked out by my Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout ("That shit looks like motor oil!"). To them the manly thing to do was to drink as many cans of shitty beer as possible, and their house record was 30-something in one night. And they pretty much had the same approach with women, quantity over quality, those were some stupid, skanky ho's that hung out over there....

    Looks like he'll have a mission.


    The objectification of members of the opposite sex isn't solely a male thing...And let's face it, being from the so-called weaker sex can buy some leniency. From time to time.

    Kookai, slutwear...

    Really?

    I would think Guinness has more calories than that.

    Demo, I like the way you drew the bartender's tits. She should be a recurring character. Is Gynostar less of a drag when she's not bleeding?

    Well... what's the ratio? 1:100? 1:1000? And note how the men in the ads you posted are actually dressed. And your sole example is a campaign from the 90s (the youtube video you posted is from a German 90s TV show that was cancelled at least ten years ago, which makes it easy to date :D).

    Don't worry. Any time we feel oppressed and manipulated by the "weaker" sex, Procto-Man will be there to take one for the team.

    Shame I can't draw. I can see the potential.

    Maybe that's like her kryptonite, she bleeds constantly.

    What's the color scheme for the Gyno-star costume? It's white and fuchsia in my mind. :)

    I don't think I've ever drawn her in color. I guess I always figured blue and white though. But it can be whatever you want it to be, BG.

    I almost posted a picture of her but figured that would out me once and for all as a supernerd.:D

    But since you brought her up...

    Do you think that fur cape is sewn together from the scalps of Palestinian activists?

    I think Gyno-Star is Demo's secret alter ego.

    Hmm, that's over interpretation that has little to do with what I was saying. Let's keep with the context.

    Funny, I'm sure I wrote "from time to time" but nobody seemed to read that part...

    See above.
    I noticed the toilet bowl.

    Wrong, I posted another one that is current. :p

    There are indeed few ad campaigns that use that route compared to the numerous ones involving objectified women. They tend to be more hardcore though maybe as a way of revenge (from the potential customer POV) and also the fact they can indeed buy a bit more leniency.

    But rather than seeing chauvinism recede in "male" ads, the trend is setting towards more objectification from "both sides", each justifying the other. A certain convergence towards universal stupidity, let's enjoy it.

    Er, what was the topic of this thread already ? :D
