Flotsam & Jetsam
American Apparel My Butt
3:12AM Hamilton Nolan | American Apparel ads raise unimportant questions: Can they get banned in the UK again, on purpose? Are buttocks economically superior to c—ksuckers? And why are these fishnetty things everywhere now? Don’t neglect your local sex shop. [Copyranter. Click to enlarge]

Do Not Look At This Ad, Perv
5:08AM Hamilton Nolan | The little white letters in this photo are advertising the 28th Biennale of Graphic Art, in Slovenia. So uh, what’s that shape in the background, then? NSFW, is what it is, so do not click through to find out. More »

American Apparel Ad Succeeds
1:40AM Hamilton Nolan | Ho hum, the UK Advertising Standards Authority has banned an American Apparel ad that ran in Vice magazine for being too much like child porn. Can you imagine anything more cliché? More »
Harrowing ‘Donkey Punch’ Trailer Scares Audiences Into Celibate Future
7:10AM Defamer Hollywood | As far as horror movies based on aberrant sexual practices go, we would have had our money on “Dirty South Fish Hook” as the trick to beat for pure, threatening perversion (think Teeth, but featuring two sets at once). But the UK thriller Donkey Punch has apparently beat it to the, well, you know, premiering in the Midnight section at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and opening next week in its home country. Sadly, no American distributor has yet picked up the film, leaving us with only this trailer to tease us with proof that nothing avenges an orgasmic jab to the face like a gun-and-chainsaw murder spree. Those Brits! So… saucy! [The Chaser Blog via Videogum] More »
Mcnaughty In Trouble Again

In short, there’s a bit of a kerfuffle regarding McNaughty’s appearance in Cockatoo Ridge’s new “She likes a cockatoo” ad campaign.
GEDDIT? A COCK OR TWO?
Lordy, there’s a party down the bottle-o – it’s like it’s 1956 and everyone’s invited!
The wine label’s managing director Peter Perrin defended the campaign, stating: “It’s time for the brand to shake off its old image and get in the minds of mainstream younger Australian and European wine lovers.”
McNaught wasn’t red-faced over the ad series’ sexual references either.
