Back when Sunmoon ran the Glade, and early in the Real Life forum, we shared a bunch of things we thought funny.

One of these was a set of foreign advertisements. One of them showed a woman sitting on a wooden boardwalk watching the sun set into the ocean. It was a subtle ad, you didn't realize what the point was until you put it all together. She was sitting down, back to the observer, in the place of one of a series of old fashioned capstan like posts along the boardwalk. The ad was for a personal lubricant.

The ad was a one of the winners in a foreign version of the Clio awards, the ones for clever commercials.

Does anyone else remember the ad? I'm having no luck finding it on the web. If you do, your search fu might be better than mine.

Thanks,

Bah, Midgen beat me to it. Started out thinking it was a TV commercial and was looking in all the wrong places.

Thank you both. I was trying to describe it to someone, we were discussing subtle ads that it took a second to get.

I have no recollection of ever seeing that ad before.

All I did was do a google image search for "personal lubricant ad" and that was the first image on the page.

It matched the description, so I linked it :D
