That looks like Carlos Ruiz, I think? Phillies catcher? I can't believe I've never seen that before. How does that even happen? I know some catchers aren't the greatest defensive players, but.. c'mon.



Edit: Well, if I'd kept reading I would've seen that it was being played in reverse, and I wouldn't look like a damned idiot right now.

So... yeah. What?

They decided to take a break from the game and show off their incredible team gymnastics skills.








UNRELATED.

I was on tumblr and came across the new cup from Arbys:

Which was... odd....
Until I read the caption.
"This sounds like a BJ mantra. Arby's promo folk are perverts."

Sounds good to me

Haha! I was just so confused. I couldn't figure out why the fuck the catcher would just flop on his side like that and not just touch the guy that was trying to stand on his head.


I think it just seemed so bizarre that I didn't even consider the fact that it was being played in reverse. Plus, it did look like he was coming from the third base side still, so...

I don't know. It's definitely good for a laugh, anyway.

 

[Mephistophelily]

Yes. I am bored.

Sounds about right. Though Captain America could keep the same pose if he had big breasts. Which is pretty typical for female superheroes.

I'd throw my back out if I tried to pose like that.

Guess you don't have what it takes to be a female superhero, love. Winks, playfully.

Guess there aren't going to be any bad guys kidnapping you, tying you up, and threatening to do nasty things. Leaves more time for those of us who plan on tying you up and following THROUGH with our plans of doing nasty things.

*Checks down my blouse.* Nope, I guess not up top at least. I could probably manage a pose like the Hulk is doing though.

No bad guys after me then? Well, that's a relief. I get to keep my virtuous reputation a little longer then.

I'd have to have the powers of Mr. Fantastic to stretch that much.

Nothing makes sure your audience never grows like not trying to appeal to anyone outside who you think your audience is.

Tell me you would rather look at Thor's ass than Black Widow's and I'll drop any further argument.

ACTUALLY, what I'd rather see is a female character that wasn't really some bizarre oversexualized hypernympho with guns.
I think we've hit our quota.

My quota must be vastly higher than yours because I can ALWAYS go for more hypernymphos.

And guns. Guns are good too.

 

[Vail_Indigo]

HEY!!!

You got here before quota

Im just saying it would be nice to have something OTHER than that, once in a while.

Take THAT, Hollywood!

HEY!!!

Cracks up and nearly falls down laughing. One freaking syllable...and it's perfect.

Whew! Slipped in just under the wire!

Hush you! And don't let me see a hint of that well known smirk.

Honestly, and this is probably the male chauvinist in me, but I don't even mind this kind of marketing. It's going to happen. Might as well just go with it. As long as "sexy" continues to sell like it does, this stuff is bound to come across theater walls.

Also, big fan of boobs. So there's that.

Its not so much chauvinistic as it is self-centered.
Its easy for you to shrug this off as no big deal.
However, to 51% or the people in the US, its part of a highly pervasive system of oppression and degradation.

Okay, I'm pretty sure not ALL women hate it just as not all guys like it. And really? Oppression? Is her ass oppressing you? I mean, come on. It's a picture. At most, it's offensive.

First, it doesn't matter if you like or hate something. It can still be causing you harm.
Second, I said this was part of a system. You can't look at this and understand it unless you look at the larger context.

Something like this though? Oversexualized marketing isn't going to cause me harm unless I let it. I'm not going to look at a boxer ad in a magazine with a sexy half-dress guy, abs of steel, and get all upset over it. Maybe some guys will, whatever. It's not a big deal to me. Even the concept of it. Seriously, it's kind of stupid to get all sensitive over something so silly. I'm talking about this particular "Adonis in way too tight underwear" ad. That's silly. It is.

But that's just me. I don't really care enough to let it ruffle my feathers.
