Could be worse, could be a third one of a gigantic, engorged, rotten, pit-less avacado-the “Rosie” model.

Not a virgin? So?

The tramp can just bite her tongue and spit on the sheets while she’s polishing his….um…never mind.

Uh, we got it, but it’s amazing that a religion condones the ‘honour killing’ in the first place.

Masking the symptoms doesn’t cure the illness itself.

It seems those who are commenting (at least) are ‘getting’ neither the concept not the underlying cause.

In many Islamic marriages, the wedding night bedshhets are made available to at least the husband’s family for inspection. Theoretically, blood on the sheets indicates pre-marital female chastity. In more extreme cases, the sheets are displayed from balconies or windows.

If a girl has had pre-marital sex (even with the eventual husband) and has access to sufficient funds, she may obtain a hymenorrhaphy, that is, the surgical repair of the hymen.

If not, this device may prevent her murder, by ‘honour killing’ for her lack of virginity on her wedding night.

Ahhh, now I get it…Gross! Why am I not surprised that what appears to be a Middle Eastern company is behind this?

Great! Now hair ties frighten me. I’ll never look at those stretchy round bands in the same light again.

I blame Bush.

[...] seems to be hope — finally — that we can all live longer, healthier lives with this great new “skin” tightening product (if the advert itself doesn’t completely offend [...]

When I clicked the image to enlarge it, the picture of the gel was not included on the photo anymore.

You gotta click on the image for the larger view, but it’s “Hymen Tightening Gel.”

Um. I feel like an idiot, but am I the only one that doesn’t get it?

All I see are two hair bands. What is this advertising? What is the context?

I don’t quite get it… Sorry for being dense.

Much appreciated if anyone’d care to enlighten me.

I can’t tell what the little tube in the corner is. Lube? ‘Cause that seems sufficiently creepy.

My brain isn’t working today, could someone help me out? All I see is one neat and one frazzled hair band and something in the corner I can’t make out. I mean, they’re pink and um, could suggest a certain opening but I’m not seeing it.

Yeah, I know. It’s really disturbing in context . . .
