Pictures of sexy ladies on product packaging.

So, a DDD style Friday thread.

Even in the year 2013, it still seems acceptable to pop pictures of sexy ladies onto product packaging, even on products that are completely unrelated to such matters.

As a case in point, I draw attention to the back of the packaging that my new tyres came in yesterday. Continental: such wondrous beauty, though very easy on the eye, has nothing to do with the tyres in the box. Disgraceful.

    Fair play to them for doing something different I suppose.

    I must admit, the Assos ads for women's bib tights do get on my nerves - why they can't put a sports bra underneath I'll never know.

    I like to think that the lady in front is called ATTACK and the one behind is FORCE. Note how ATTACK is slightly thinner, and FORCE looks the more powerful.

    For you maybe! I don't want my boobs hanging round my knees when I'm sixty, thank you very much.

    And judging by some of the men I see, they could do with wearing one too!

    You can hang them round my knees if you like. :) <hides...>

    My umm experience of these sports bra things is that they don't do the job that a bra's intended to do and it results in an unsatisfactory sweaty experience for the lady involved.

    I'd like to add that the image(s) isn't displayed on my browser here so I'll have to take a look later.

    Do Assos sell cycling specific sports bras?

    Girls boxing? Shouldn't be allowed. Not natural, is it?

    Now wrestling, that's a sport for the ladies...
