Mana, I think you may be overreacting (and overstating your view) just a tad bit. I can definitely see some sexual overtones in those pictures (whether they are real or fake is irrelevant), and I don't think you need to draw a pair of tits and a ballsack on an apple to make that connection. You certainly don't have to be a pervert or something to do so. I also don't think it's a big deal because only adults would be able to make those connections. I actually think it's pretty funny.

In the multi-example photo, the top left and bottom right images are especially reminiscent of shit I've done with my wife. Perhaps you're not making the connection... because you just don't get any ass? (j/k ;) )

Dude, I said "sterile brainless fruits" in my post. I was only jokingly exaggerating.

But at the same time, I do think it's stupid when people get upset enough to complain about such images. There is in fact nothing there that is sexual except what you make of it. Show the images to young kids -- how do you think they would describe them?

Nothing. Like I said earlier, they wouldn't know to make anything of them because they've never had sex nor have their balls dropped yet.

We could totally do a thread on sexuality in advertising, both the subtle and the blatant kinds. I'm busy with school but if I can find some free time I may put a thread together, it's a fun topic...especially when you look at the conservative juxtaposition of most TV viewers.
