AS Gossip Girl Ad Said: OMFG!!!

You seriously will not believe this.....
.
(From Salon and actual ad below)  (ps - I think these are more pre-movie ad's as in Europe they show like 1 minute long ads before the movies... but you gotta watch- they are freaky!!!)

Let's hand it to Wilkinson Sword ad group. In its new series of international ads for the Quattro for Women bikini razor, it manages to combine bouncy jingles with the most heavy-handed symbolism since Georgia O'Keeffe, all while tossing in a fair amount of finger-wagging bodily disgust.
.
In the company's MGM-worthy U.K. commercial (posted below), a comely, cat-wielding lass declares her cure for the blues is to "mow the lawn." As she and a bevy of pals push their mowers (pink, of course), they winkingly sing that "some bushes are really big," although the Asian chick has a bonsai that's "really small." I swear to God:.

I have to say, I personally LOVE the French Version which is so much more techo.
