Is that Tarzan with his pants down?

I have always found the differences in ads and publicity - along with graffitti - to be one of the more interesting things worth analysing in their varying degrees of humour, cheesiness, etc.  Switzerland would certainly be no exception to the rule, and I most certainly did a double take as the tram rumbled by this newly posted billboard last Monday.



Yes, my dears, that would be Tarzan with his pants down.  Not so into Tarzan?  Try this one:



Haven't quite identified whose crack that is yet, but the lady friend certainly looks happy.  And just to throw another one out there, how about a shot of Ariel's sister?



Good thing she's got a good hold on that seaweed.

The annual Swiss "Love Life Stop SIDA" campaign has admittedly been tagged as "racy" by several of the local news agencies, but other than that, the highly creative, potentially offensive campaign ads have done little more than brighten my work day commutes, receiving little or no great public attention.  To date, I think I've heard a grand total of ONE comment on them, suggesting that the images are degrading to women.  That's it.  Nothing more.  Interesting, especially considering that I have a hunch that if these same ads appeared in the States, there would be uproars of every variety. 

Kudos to the creativity, as outrageously WEIRD as they may be.
