SEX USED TO SELL UNSEXIEST THING ON PLANET.

(click ad for closer look)
It's SOUP, for crying out loud. I don't give a fuck how "exotic" your new flavors are, Heinz. And! Who holds a key party with only three couples (well actually looking at the number of keys in the key bowl, it's three fully bisexual couples)? And who serves soup at a fucking key party? I know I know, I'm being too literal and it's "creative exaggeration man, lighten up." No. Sorry. There's got to be at least a scintilla of truth in your wacky creative ad. And there's NONE here. Nada. IT'S FUCKING CANNED SOUP—image-wise, the meal of the lonely, pathetic, depressed, poor, ugly single person. And your cute little wrong sex ad can't magically alter that perception.

Is that woman on the right reaching for what I think she's reaching for?

Is it just me or is it just _wrong_ to use a cream soup in this ad? At least they didn't use tomato soup. Or beef stew.
