Now everything in that hotel room has been licked.

Actually, that explains a LOT about many hotels I have stayed in.

I know it’s not a real, in use toilet, and that it’s cleaner than water fountains, etc. But knowing that doesn’t change my gut reaction to the photo.

I suppose I’ll be seen as weird if I call the ad sexist and degrading. After all, we’re living in a post-feminist world, so what’s the big deal?

Indeed, I’m awfully sick of the second-wave feminists and other forms of identity politics / class consciousness making a resurgence. I swear, it’s intellectual backlash / future shock equivalent to the laity resurgence in religion and/or nationalism — as a kind of nostalgic ostrich syndrome to the rapidly approaching horizon of social nihilism and awakening to methodological individualism.

Generation X / cyberpunks had it right: everyone dies alone, Trust No One, and our world is doomed.

Toilet humour at its worst! Gross Boing Boing!

These young chicks today get all horned up and they tell you to go ass-to-mouth.

They sent emails out of nowhere with no opt out.

No problem once I set up a filter to trash all the messages.

Guess they’re trying YouTube spamming now.

Roughly half the people I’ve taken there have absolutely refused to try.

That brings a tear to my nostalgic eye as I remember this old “PUMA” advertisement

That’s the best ad I’ve seen since Ocean Pacific ran that ad on the back of Vice Magazine with the OP logo spelled out in faux cut cocaine print on a metallic silver resembling a mirror. Rumor had it that whoever green-lighted that ad got fired.

If no one can dig up a copy of that ad online, I’ll find my copy of the magazine and try to scan it in. (Assuming the “mirror” aspect of it complies.)

Unicorn chaser, please. I gagged when I saw that picture.

You’re all a bunch of pantywaists. Maybe the Internets have ruined me, though I’ve never been remotely interested in scat, but that pic was immediately erotic to me.

Remember, sanitation is about preventing disease. But I’m betting you’d also be weirded out by drinking your own saliva that you dispensed into an autoclaved container a minute earlier, just because psychologically “that’s gross”.

In biology we stuck a Q-Tip on the very inside of the water fountain, just where the water comes through, and grew a culture. Compared to everywhere else in the school, it was HUGE and disgusting. I always got sick from water fountains in school; I don’t use them now unless I’m incredibly parched. I think if that toilet had been cleaned I’d have less of a problem licking it than a water fountain.

Maybe the Internets have ruined me,

And we thought it was intended to be the other way around…

I don’t care how clean your toilet is DON’T LICK IT.

I think Occam’s razor suggests that this is a real marketing campaign, and they’re using extstay.com as a convenient landing page. http://www.extendedstayhotels.com/clean would be too long an URL to remember.

I grant that it could be the case that the domain registration is forged, but since it was created in 1997, I’d guess not.

Also, regarding the video, ew.

UnicornChaser.com

It ran in Vice Magazine Volume 9, Number 9, with the cover and reverse ad designed to match.

I hereby request an appropriate chaser image.
