Almost didn't click on the link, because the mere idea was bad enough, but (unfortunately?) curiosity got the better of me. The moral and ethical ramifications of such things are, actually, worth the time and effort to draw a debate out over, because they are that serious. And sometimes the debate actually does have an impact, like the time Candia did an ad campagne in France for Babette cream that was supposed to be humorous, but was essentially male masochism gone really wrong. You can read about it (in French) here: http://www.strategies.fr/actualites/marques/r11871W/les-feministes-digerent-mal-la-creme-babette.html Basically, the words on the woman's apron in the ad (photo at the bottom of the page) could refer to the beating a woman could give to a heavy cream, or... the beating a man could give to a woman. The controversy was so great that the ad was taken down within a couple of days. I agree with Mark and Leah wholeheartedly.
