Alright, I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but this ad struck me as horribly offensive. I mean, look, it's enough that he's attracted to the car, but to put it over the girl's face? It dehumanizes her, shows her that not only is he unable or unwilling to give her any foreplay (and I think this might be a safe assumption, considering that not only is her bra on, but there isn't any sign of pleasure on her face... oh wait, you can't see her face because the asshole has put a CAR AD over it.)
I don't know about you, but if I was in the middle of sex with a man and I decided that I was going to put my 2189 page anthology of drama on his face (my version of a car I'd like to fuck with, of course) I don't think he'd be so docile as to lay there with his arms casually wrapped around my neck.
Doesn't it strike you as odd that BMW is the one releasing this ad? Axe Deodorant/Bodyspray/Shampoo/Bodywash and anything else that enables grown men and 14 year olds to smell like ass is a typical product that releases sexist ads that are demeaning towards women. I'm not excusing it, but it's expected.
But a car company?
Really?
I wish I had enough money so I could feel good for snubbing their company by not driving a car. Or maybe I'll snub them by not letting my boyfriend imagine fucking the grill and the headlights while we're in bed.
