I thought my editor was ribbing me when he sent me this breast augmentation ad. It looks like something Mad magazine would do. But sadly, it’s legit, and somehow insulting to both genders. There aren’t even any nipples on that ribbon bra. The least they could do is fashion some ribbon briefs for a male model and put up a few penis-enhancement surgery billboards around town. Better yet, just hang a hat on it and change the tagline to, “Give him something fun and practical.”
