Summer's Eve commercials

By now you've seen at least one of Summer's Eve's talking hand puppet vagina ads (a sentence I thought I'd never write...). If you haven't, there are three that represent a white woman, a black woman and a Latina woman. There's some controversy over some of the eye-rolling dialog and accents of the minority vaginas. But, of course, who gets left out again? Asians. And who knew? Do a Google image search for "Asian" and it's clear there are Asian vaginas all over the place! WTF Summer's Eve! I demand a ching-chongy, gong-ridden talking vagina to represent our Asian women! Well...on second thought, thanks for leaving us out of this one.

  1. Vagina puppet ads? Sounds extremely creepy. I haven't seen it yet but I guess I'm bound to see it eventually. Plus, why would you need to talk about race when it comes to a vagina? I thought they were all the same in the end.

  2. Race is very important in relation to vaginas. According to the porn industry, anyway.

  4. jeez .... I'm glad I don't watch commercial television (gave it up when cable and direct tv topped $100/month). Who was the drunk marking simian that thought this one up?

  5. I feel, that Native American vaginas, or American Indian vaginas, are also under-represented in daft ads about: hand-puppets, vaginas and panties.
    Where did my country go wrong? Should this be covered in K-12 sex ed?
