Do you feel shame because you went through puberty and started growing hair on your balls? in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

Does anybody else get ball-shaving ads? I do mean that literally. The LAWNMOWER 5000 or MANSCAPED.

They’re written in the style I would have used 20 years ago as a parody, and I don’t know how to feel about it. On the one hand, it’s obviously tongue-in-cheek.

On the other hand, it’s stigmatizing the audience to believe that they should be shaving their balls.

Oh, I came to shaving my balls on my own. It’s just the anti-pube propaganda and. Well. Anti-body hair in general propaganda annoys the crap out of me. It’s typical capitalism.

Hey! Here’s a problem you didn’t know you had. YOU SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE ABOTU THIS PROBLEM. And look at that, WE CAN SELL YOU A SOLUTION.

One ad is all “DID YOU KNOW MOST SOAPS ARE HARSH DETERGENTS? ARE YOU WASHING YOUR BALLS WITH DETERGENT?”

Just word propaganda. Let’s google-fu detergent: “A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties when in dilute solutions.”

This is like reframing water, as as chemical. Oh, that dihydrogen oxide will get everywhere!

Note to self: invent time machine, and go back in time to go into advertising.
