I say ads because there are two of them, side by side, advertising... I really don't know. BUt just one glance tells me that one of the products are for women and one are for men. On both there's the outline of a body (female for female and male for male) and the outline is filled with a kind of jungle theme. But the female outline is filled with flowers and ocean and pink and blue. The male outline is filled with orange and red and volcanoe eruptions and tigers.... I get a bit miffed and so obviously targetted comercials. But I agree with Siha .- this stuff works. Except for this particular ad where I can't remember what it was for :P Speaking of ads (funny you bring this up, I’ve thought about this all week) – I’ve been annoyed at one set of ads all of this week (at least the five minutes each morning I stand looking at them in the subway).

Amazing, but true. (The marketing, I mean, not the skin care junk.) Our national broadcaster did a really cool series called <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/tv/gruentransfer/" rel="nofollow">The Gruen Transfer</a> last year, all about the inner workings of marketing, with weekly discussion panelists from people working in the industry. It was amazing to hear how these tactics - that just look cheap to you and I - actually *work* on people. Sadly, this stuff actually _does_ work on people. Amazing, but true.

Then again, I'm an unsubtle person who laughs at the misfortune of others. I don’t know, I think beer or electronics or dudes getting hit in the nuts would work just as well on me as it does on guys.
