Continuing our (well, OK, my) butt theme, here's a hemorrhoid-cream magazine ad from China that's actually somewhat subtle with its message. Binding the ad into the middle of the book allows the small staple to symbolize the discomfort of hemorrhoids. I suppose it's still a little unpleasant to come across a giant butt while you're reading. But at least it's not an ad for staple removers. Via Ads of the World.
