I am still gaping at this ad.  It would be one thing if the woman were the one talking in the picture, but the man is.  Can you imagine being with a partner who snapped up a product right in front of you because he (or she) was so desperate to not look at your supposed flaws anymore?  Talk about killing your self-esteem!

I also find it interesting that the picture is clearly a throwback to the 50s -- because can you imagine both of them dressed in business attire?  I should hope that a modern woman would look at a man who behaved this way and say "I beg your pardon!?"  (Just as I would hope a man would do the same thing to his partner if that partner did something similar in front of him.)
