We all know the old advertising adage of "sex sells," but this strange juxtaposition of a scantily clothed woman (with a scary facial expression, IMHO) next to a can of sliced mushroom brings only one thought to my mind: "huh?"

    I think the addition of "Fungtastic" pretty much says they're trying to make a funny with this ad. Worked on me! I feel like a tin of nila mushrooms now.

    Look at her eyes. Obviously these aren't just any mushrooms, but SUUPER EROTIC MUTANT mushrooms. The advertisement just caught her in mid transformation, that's all.

    We welcome our new fungal overlords.

    judging by her 'boobs' which anyone can buy - she may be a he - I don't get how anyone can consider them sexy???? like they have those nasty ridges where they attach... UGHLY.

    anyway...I obsessed enuff now.

    What we need to know is where is this? We see this kind of thing every day- nay, all day long, here in Ukraine. My friend let another friend run the 'driver's ed' manual on her computer- it could have been the intro for some skin flick...
