To Bare or Not?
Remember Drew Barrymore raising a ruckus when she strolled down a red carpet flashing a wild swath of armpit hair? Now, an American physician wants women to adopt the French “au naturale” look for their nether region as well.
The physician, Emily Gibson, claims the popular “Bare Down There” fashion increases the risk of infections and sexually transmitted diseases, so she’s opposed to women shaving, waxing, plucking or using laser treatments to remove their pubic hair. “Pubic hair does have a purpose, providing a cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion and injury, and protection from bacteria,” she says. “It is time to declare a truce in the war on pubic hair and allow it to stay right where it belongs.”

L.H.O.O.Q.
In 1919, the Surrealist Marcel Duchamp shocked the art world by drawing a mustache and beard on a cheap postcard reproduction of the Mona Lisa, and then appending the title “L.H.O.O.Q.” The latter blasphemy was a wicked pun, meant to evoke the French expression, “Elle a chaud au cul,” which translates as “She has a hot ass.”
Now, a Buenos Aires advertising agency has combined some larger-than-life Surrealist imagery with the everyday fantasy of making like Chuck Norris and kicking some serious ass. It might sound like a recipe for disaster or deviancy, but happiness ensues, and it’s all for a good cause — to market Diesel sneakers. H/T culturepub

World of Beers
Call Me Stormy launches a new series…the World of Beers. Every evening, right around Happy Hour, we’ll showcase a different beer commercial from a different corner of the globe. We’ll cover the gamut — the funniest, the sexiest, the most outrageous, the classic, the bizarre.
Before we wrap up the series on Oct. 31 — in celebration of Oktoberfest, and just in time to get all of you sobered up before election day — we’ll span much of the world, presenting 80 commercials from at least 40 countries. If you’ve got a favorite commercial you’d like to see in this greatest hits parade, send us your request in the comments. One note: We are excluding US commercials except vintage ones that haven’t been seen for decades, and a few specialty ads, such as one for a Pennsylvania microbrew.
Up first and on tap tonight, Tuborg from Denmark. Certainly, you’ve heard of beer goggles. Here’s living proof of the phenomenon.
