Truth in Advertising 6 - Vagina Wedgies

Over the weekend, I was walking through an outlet mall because I'm piss-broke, and that's just where I go to buy clothes sometimes because that's all my cheap ass can afford.

Passing one of the stores, a sign in one of the windows caught my eye.

It was a series of mannequins -- four of them -- and each was holding a sign with a different word.  Now, because I have a shitty phone that picks and chooses which pictures it wants to save when I take them, I was only able to capture the last two mannequins with their respective signs.  So, for the sake of completeness, I took it upon myself to draw, as accurately and with as much detail as I could, the mannequins with the first two signs.

Seriously.
Say no to Camel Toe. Brilliant.  But what's camel toe, and why would we want to say "no" to it? Urban Dictionary offers this meaning of the term:

cam-el-toe [kam-uhl-toh]

When a chick crams herself into a pair of jeans ... [causing her vagina] to be clearly discernible under the sung fabric of her lower garment, creating the two-mounded image of a camel's toe.

And my personal favorite:

When her pants are so tight you can read her lips.

When spotted, the camel toe is the subject of a barrage of people pointing, laughing and wondering why that whore can't pick out a pair of jeans that fit properly.

Upon further investigation (Google -- don't think for a second I take more than five minutes to do any sort of research at all for any of these posts), I found out that this is an ad campaign for Lululemon Athletica.  They sell clothes for like, yoga and shit.  This company has realized that camel toe is far more prevalent for women who wear this type of attire, and they're going to address it head on.  They aren't going to tap dance and tip-toe around the issue by sugarcoating it.  The fact of the matter is, yoga pants are tight, and God knows no one wants to see a blueprint of your ladyparts while you're doing the downward dog.

The people of Lululemon Athletica aren't going to bullshit you, they're going to grab you by your crotch in your two-sizes-too-tight jeans and tell you that what you're doing to your vagina and to the eyes of innocent children everywhere is wrong.

Just say no, ladies.

  1. I hate skanks who don't wear clothes that fit! Here is how my parents handled it:

    Once in a time long, long ago (when I was a teenager) I asked my mom if my skirt was too short. She told me to ask my dad. Here was his advice: Write a "W" on one butt cheek and a "W" on the other butt cheek. If you bend over and it spells "WOW" then your skirt is too fucking short.

  2. I love Lulu Lemon. I always have. But now you've just given me one more reason. There's nothing like the truth.
    And Opto-Mom's comment was way better than mine!

I've said too much, so I'll let you take it from here.
