I sure as heck do. Yeah, both ads are guided by the ever lucrative sex factor, but at least the sexuality expressed (and, naturally, exploited) in the first ad has some directionality; that is, the sexuality of the depicted female is pointed toward two, if not all, of the males in the picture. To some extent she's active and engaged in the scene and has ostensibly chosen to receive the lusty advances of the pictured others. By contrast, the model in the replacement ad is supposed to receive the lustfulness of anyone and everyone by pure virtue of her barely dressed, glistening bikini bod. No one knows what she's doing or thinking and no one cares - She's sexy. And wet. And fifty feet tall. Who needs to know anything else, right?
