Someone was telling me recently about "easter eggs" -- suggestive or outright lewd little nuggets embedded in the artwork of advertising. Sometimes, though, it's not what's subtle or hidden that's dazzling.

Great balls o' comfort. I swear I didn't make that up. Watch and learn.

  6. I had to do a debate in one of my ad classes in college about the hidden sexuality in ads, and it's all over the place. I was on the "yes it's blatant" team and had all these examples that people said they never really noticed until I pointed it out and then it was right there. I'm not necessarily easily offended, but I "won" my case!

    Ted shaves with just water -- I guess he doesn't need any "great balls of comfort." :)
