Gawker points us to this absurd, Michael Bay-directed Victoria's Secret commercial, which combines a butt rock soundtrack, edgy desert vistas, motorcycles, cars, knife-throwing, a helicopter, explosions, unexplained circus performers, a jet, half-naked sexy ladies, and wind machines. In other words, it appears to be targeted at women.

<p><strong>Gawker</strong> points us to this absurd, <strong>Michael Bay</strong>-directed <a href="http://gawker.com/5421272/michael-bays-victorias-secret-ad-as-subtle-as-a-raging-teenage-boner?skyline=true&amp;s=i">Victoria's Secret commercial</a>, which combines a butt rock soundtrack, edgy desert vistas, motorcycles, cars, knife-throwing, a helicopter, explosions, unexplained circus performers, a jet, half-naked sexy ladies, and wind machines. In other words, it appears to be targeted at women.</p>
<p><span id="more-7859"></span>This ad is the very essence of a Michael Bay movie distilled down to one-and-a-half minutes. Except this time, Bay is <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/11/13/sexist-beatdown-megan-foxs-fake-boobies-find-their-voice/">attempting to use women's bodies</a> to sell a product (women's underwear) exclusively consumed by women. Oops, nope&#8212;he's just straight-up selling women's bodies again!</p>
<p>If the helicopter circling over the naked chick didn't tip you off, perhaps the tag-line will:</p>
<p>"One Gift: A Thousand Fantasies."</p>
<p>So: This ad is targeted at the man who is interested in buying a woman something for <em>himself </em>this holiday season. Who knew Michael Bay could be so complicated?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/11/03/article-1082707-024DEC48000005DC-955_233x423.jpg" alt="" width="233" height="423" />The UK's <em>Daily Mail</em> is reporting that "Feminists around the world have reacted with horror" to a <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1082707/Outrage-chastity-belt-lingerie-fitted-GPS-tracking-system.html">new lingerie product that attaches a GPS tracker</a> to a very unattractive underwear set. The bra and panties set, which includes a hideous faux-pearl choker along with a high-tech global positioning system, sells for 500 pounds and is extremely ugly.</p>
<p>"It is outrageous to think that men can buy this, programme it and give it to their partners and then monitor them," Berlin feminist leader <strong>Claudia Burghart</strong> said about the unfortunately designed lingerie. "It is nothing more than a chastity belt for insecure men."</p>
<p>Also offensive to women are the disgusting maroon rose print, the trashy sheer bodice, the inexplicable white strings emanating from the vaginal area, and what appears to be a set of satin wings attached to the woman's arms by elastic straps.</p>
<p>Brazilian designer <strong>Lucia Lorio</strong> defended her lingerie, describing it as a product for the "modern, techno-savvy woman" who has no taste. Lorio added that the collection "is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off." Women should note that they may also take off the lingerie, and never, ever put it on again.</p>
