Of Presidents and Genital Landscaping


Funniest ad in a long time.

Simple yet cheeky. It was developed by the Australian wing of ad agency Sharpe Blackmore Euro RSCG (can't wait until they buy naming rights for a sports stadium) for consumer packaged goods giant Reckitt Benckiser, which markets the hair removal product line Veet.

Funny, but also illuminating in terms of the universality of negative feelings toward President Bush. Huge companies and ad agencies generally avoid partisan political gags, but obviously they felt safe with this one.

Then again, maybe they were just saying an innocent goodbye.
