Quiksilver unveils an advertising campaign that champions women's rights!
Advertising has long belonged almost solely to the phallus. The male member. The cock, dick, pecker, prick. Automobiles, lipstick, liquor, fruit, etc. Anything with a long, cylindrical shape. Even things without. And why? Psychologists point to virility, envy, lust, etc. Fine enough, but what about the far more stunning female anatomy? The mons pubis? It has been neglected.
Until the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast! The world’s greatest surf company is very specifically using it to sell boardshorts!
What may seem simple is a revolution. Screw the sexist male pigs! Screw the damn bastards! Sexualize equally!
My only advice would be maybe to shift the articles around. “the” vee should probably be the actual v. Quiksilver’s boardies are “a” vee. Don’t you think?

This is a Pressed Oyster… This is The Pressed Oyster.
Sure! Marketing-wise, Quik’s done a good job of grabbing our attention.
Kudos.
But are they actually selling more shorts/product because of it? Given their current financial state, should that not be their goal instead? Men, are you actually buying these shorts because you could have “a/the vee”?
Most of the “V’s” I’ve seen look more like lovely rounded “W’s”. Donde Esta Clitorati?©
