Too much information

Okay, so the Dutch are known to be pretty relaxed with the whole nudity and sex thing. Some examples of this are:

• Pornography on free to air T.V (the other night was “fat” porn, don’t worry it was just the commercial for it that I saw!)
• The Red Light district of Amsterdam where ladies stand half naked in windows, basically advertising what they have on offer
• It is not unusual to see breasts in printed advertising
• Windows in the Netherlands are often quite large and curtainless….say no more

All of the above is totally fine with me because if you know me well enough then you will understand that I’m the type of person who scoffs at people for getting easily offended about such topics.

On the other hand though, there is one advertisement aired on Dutch T.V which really has  me feeling awkward and icky whenever it comes on.

Watch and squirm.

Too much information? I think, yes. Especially for a female, watching this makes you feel like everyone is finding about the secret life of Aunt Fanny. Plus, I generally don’t delight in imagining what other women’s treasure troves get up to during the day, because basically the camera angle used in this commercial is specifically what it makes you do! Unless I’m just some kind of pervert.

Give me the Beaver commercial any day! I can’t believe it was banned. Imagine if they aired the douche ad in Australia? Chaos!
