I know the Fourth of July is already over, but I figured I'd keep the patriotic spirit going a little bit longer with this sexy and patriotic little ad for Cannon towels that I found on the interwebs. I wouldn't exactly say that it's NSFW, but it's not exactly completely SFW either. And if that's not enough to get you to make the jump, I don't know what is!

Psst! I've got a secret to tell you!
You know how sometimes you look at photos of people in the '70s and you think they kind of look like a dirty hippie? Well, these kids may not be dirty hippies, but they are kind of dirty in their own way. Oh, and don't think I mean in the sexual way. I mean dirty. Just plain dirty. Make the jump and find out why!

This couple looks set for a romantic evening at home. But what could make it perfect? A bottle of wine? A copy of The Joy Of Sex? Matching pet rocks? Oh, no. If it's the '70s, it's all about the music. But what will you use to play your new Supertramp LP? It's more important than you'd think... at least this ad would have you believe it is. Make the jump to see if you agree. Warning: Shag carpeting ahead!
A recent Swedish study has found that gay men and straight women have similarly shaped brains, and so do straight men and lesbians. This possible evidence for a biological source of homosexuality might not be the good news it appears to be, however, at least not according to writer William Saletan, who suggests that hormonal intervention as a way to prevent homosexuality in children is a very real possibility.
If the idea of chemically suppressing homosexuality in the womb horrifies you, I have bad news: You won't be in the room when it happens. Parents control medical decisions, and surveys indicate that the vast majority of them would be upset to learn that their child was gay. Already, millions are screening embryos and fetuses to eliminate those of the "wrong" sex. Do you think they won't screen for the "wrong" sexual orientation, too?

Oh dear. This young woman does not look happy. Not one bit. It would seem that she's not happy with her reflection in that mirror. Getting yourself in shape for bathing suit season is always difficult. What could she do to change her mood? Make the jump to see one possible recommendation!
The higher-budget Adult Swim incarnation of Channel 102's sci-fi web comedy Gemberling is aptly titled Fat Guy Stuck in Internet. Drawing inspiration from Tron as well as nerd culture in general, the actors in the first episode of Fat Guy include Liz Cackowski, comedian Victor Varnado, and my girls Julie and Jackie in an early cameo.
Fat Guy premieres tonight at 12:15 on Cartoon Network, or right now on the Internet itself.

Way to go, Norway! Yesterday they became the sixth country in the world to give gays the same marriage rights as heterosexuals. Then they worshiped Odin and...um...rode on a longship?
I do not know a whole lot about Norway.

We were having a heat wave in NYC this weekend, so I went to the beach and was inspired to post this particular entry to celebrate the summer. This lovely young woman looks like she's having a religious experience. And I suppose for some women, worshiping the sun might actually be close to a religious experience. But when you see this ad, you might think twice about it... see what I mean after the jump!
Happy Pride Month! Amazon.com is kicking off the festivities with a big gay sale that includes discounts on movies, music, and jewelry.
Points of interest (my interest, anyway) include the complete series of My So-Called Life for nearly half off, and gems like Angels in America, Shortbus, and Paul Morrissey's Flesh.

Oh dear. See, now this looks like a nice little plate of steak with rice. Right? Well, it is. But if you make the jump, you'll see just how politically incorrect we could be back in the swinging sixties...

In honor of Memorial Day, I thought I'd do a barbecue post for Retrophilia. (Since war and the military tend not to lend themselves as well to amusing ads from the past) So in that vein, here's a lovely young woman who has prepared quite the summer picnic feast for her guests. But has she prepared well enough? Make the jump to find out!
