“I’m a dirty, dirty bird.”
This lovely ad campaign is the brainchild of some marketing gurus in Thailand, who are hawking Rachachuros Meat Seasoning via Hustler-inspired photo spreads featuring the likes of “come hither” dead farm animals.
Tagline: “The Temptation of Taste.” Oooohhh, I’m tempted, baby!
Circus Hour sources say the advertising team decided not to run this particular ad in the States, believing it would be confused with the DVD sleeve for “1 Night in Paris.”

It took me a while to figure out if these pics were from the twisted mind of 14, spoofs in other words, or real. they are not spoofs. that means there are two such minds on the planet, and one of them is getting paid big bux … this means, 14, you could work for an ad agency!
The tagline about 1 Night in Paris made me laugh out loud. thank you, girls. xox kb

Animal Necrophilia?
Any good pervert will tell you,nothing beats wound fucking.
Or so I’ve heard.
These pictures look like something produced on a scheme to reintegrate sociopaths back into the community.
Does the designer walk around in leisure wear made out of prostitutes?
Do they have a coffee table made out of skulls?
Disturbing.
Though not as disturbing to me,as the ease with which I riffed off this imagery.
I’ll have to stop watching films like “Hostel” in an ironic manner,going round describing them as comedies.

Those pictures are absolutely horrifying. Not only is it terribly disturbing how these dead animals are propped up provocatively, but you have to wonder if somebody out there is going to consider cannibalism next time they pop a boner. “Heyyy she’s pretty sexy… makes me wanna take a big bite out of her thigh!” What the hell are they going for?! Talk about fucked up mixed messages which result in something just… wrong.

That whole take a bite out of the chick was done with Hustler when they did some sort of woman in a blender gig. Does anybody remember that or am I making it up?

There is pain in beauty, as the chicken’s and duck’s legs are bent the wrong way to seduce the average hungry consumer.

Wow
That’s not just discusting, it’s also spicy Thai.
If they did that in America, they would be arrested.
There are some rednecks in middle America that are going to take their next vacation oversees.

Oh I don’t know…it’s a touch more clever than the “Caveman” campaign.

this is picture is going to come back to haunt this chicken at a most inopportune time - just when it’s doing well on next seasons Thai Idol.

Jenn F: Your reaction is quite appropriate.
Midevil: The Hustler cover was a picture of a meat grinder, with a woman having been inserted head down. It’s very famous for being an example of “how pornography objectifies women and equates violence (and possibly torture and death) with sex.”
If nothing else, images like these should provoke dialogue about the power and influence of advertising. The ad agencies spend enormous amounts of corporate money to develop effective ad campaigns.
Makes you think, no?
