1. I love it...quite clever indeed
It reminds me of a joke a health professor once told me in college..."What do they call people who practice the rhythm method of birth control...parents!"

6. OMG is right...
It took me about 10 seconds of looking at it and :wow: was pretty much my response! Why can't we have cheeky ads like that in this country?

that ad has it all. Explains the product in a unique, interesting way. And it's a lovely photo in its own right.

Edit;

And my rusty French tells me the tag line is "Manix Gel: A high-powered lubricant".
