Homoerotic Hilarity
I don't know whether to laugh or cry over the splooge-in-your-face phallic blatancy of the Dodge Ram commercial in which an unseen, husky-voiced fellow suggestively rumbles, "My name is Ram and my tank is full."
Since women aren't really the target demographic for hugely oversized pickup trucks, I have to assume that this hilariously homoerotic message is directed at men. I really wonder what goes through a man's mind or some other part of his body when he's presented with this sort of thing. Does he have any idea how gay it sounds? I don't think there's anything on the distaff side that would compare. Women don't fetishize and idolize their sex organs the way men do and I don't think that your average straight woman responds to double-entendre advertising pitches delivered by sultry-voiced femmes. Do we? The closest thing I can think of are fragrance commercials but those are usually more intent on creating a sort of fairytale aura that's more sparkly-princessy than obviously sexual.
Men are weird. Good thing some of them are fun to look at.
