I’ve been collecting these for a while now, and since the posting of this, I thought I’d share some more.
The first is another from BMW. Tagline: “The Ultimate Attraction.”
And one from Mercedes Benz. Tagline “The S Class.”
And another ad from the infamous AXE– using sex with women in cars to sell cologne instead of using sex and women to sell cars… the tagline “It can happen anywhere: The new longer lasting AXE effect.”
Will we ever run out of such things to post? Sadly, I don’t think we will.

Took me a while to figure out the second one - you forgot to mention the text in the middle reads “8 airbags”.
And, oh my gawd.
The first one is sick.
I’m not sure the 8 airbags one is genuine. I cannot see Munich agreeing to that most bizarre of bad photoshops. Point still stands though.
everytime i want to be like– well, stigmatizing sex isn’t good, & admiting that sex is what motivates blah blah blah– i actually SEE one of the advertisements in question & go “oh, real classy, real helpful. way to demean women!”
The last one is ALMOST okay.
@ mordicai:
ALMOST okay if you ignore the violence alluded to in this ad as well. “She’ll want to do you so bad, she’ll have a steering wheel bruise for weeks!”
Every time AXE makes an ad, it gets a little worse.
