Which way to the snacks?
I know, they would be awful. That is why we wouldn't have any, just practice A LOT!

I find the ad to be in poor taste....
Is BMW trying to change their image?
I'd guess so, but what image are they trying to project and who are they marketing to?

You're referring to the girl in the picture, right?
OMG........I just had a terrible visual of what the add would look like on the vintage airhead forum.

Scary thought........maybe Nancy Pelosi?
If it was her in ad I'd be more comfortable with it.

Well I don't don't know about not seeing such ads in the US, I'm in the US right now and I can see the ad just fine!

God? What god?
But seriously, Rocketman, remember the commotion and outrage when the relatively mile Scorpion ads in the MOA mag caused people to blow their tops, cancel memberships, and use a magic marker to black out pictures. Can you imagine the heads exploding if this ad were published?

While that is a horrible image to contemplate, consider the visual of what would be posted if we published a similar picture of a man that is aimed at our women riders. Would we really treat our ladies so poorly?

And what's even stranger is that while this one is sexier IMHO, somehow it doesn't come across as suggestive as the other one in what could be seen as a derisive double meaning. Again IMHO, the other one suggested women in general were (or the one in the ad anyway was) "easy", which is what I sensed upset some members, this one just suggests she's had sex before, which is pretty normal for most humans and hardly derisive. Go figure.
Anyone who's ever seen TV in the more southern regions (i.e Mexico and beyond) or Europe knows they have a much more, shall we say, liberal, view of sexuality.
