you are right, this one looks like fatness and obesity!
Marie Claire was cleverer.

Yes, you have :-)

That's hardly a mysterious coincidence. It's funny though that both campaigns were released around the same time (Feb, 2010).

I have to say the breast cancer awareness campaign (the one on Coloribus) is sillier: 2 shaved noggins posing as women's breasts.

6 stars from me for the Sexy knees ad; maybe it's the product that I don't like (sexy legs is one thing, but who needs JUST sexy knees?)

Finally, subtle plagiarism (if such term exists) is one thing; flagrant plagiarism is another. Who copied whom, I don't know.

I'd prefer "for softer knees".

Oh dear .... How does this target women???? I mean I understand they are going for the sex appeal thing, but this is the millenium, do women have to have sexy KNEES to catch men now??
Forget the political issues, the ad itself is eye catching sure, but the message does not resonate.

I like it, but I would have preferred a bit better copy. After all, I have never looked at anybody and thought 'Ooh, look at their sexy knees'

You should see my knees! ;-)
Don't mind this- there is another recent ad with the same visual pun, but not knees...?

this one says, your knees would never be sexy if you don't fool people they are your bosoms.

Love your comment.

Say my name, say my name...

AssassinX's picture 1347 pencils

Haha

It's an ad easily drawing man's attention although it was designed for woman.

michdec's picture 444 pencils

I think this would work better upside down, right now they are reminding me too much of udders

NguyenHai's picture 103 pencils

I have often thought of knees as being neccesary for leg bending but have never considered them as being something to feed babies with....so interesting angle...thank you.

silvi's picture 4174 pencils

Looks like fat legs, not sexies

pepsitrev's picture 27 pencils

yep i agree i thought they were boobs at first glance also. if you are going to make things look like boobs use real boobs for christ sakes.
