This is nothing compared to some vintage advertising, at least in terms of innuendo and "risque" ads. For your viewing pleasure:

Some of these are creepy, some are fun, some are funny, but suggestive labels and advertising have been around as long as such things have existed.....

I agree the one girl is missing part of her skull...eeewwww!

Theres a flipside to this coin.

It is just the person(like me) who see this racy picture,or is it the artist who wants people to see it as well. Well the artist is Tristan Eaton. Here is a post from a blog:

First up, let us announce an awesome collaboration that's just hit the shelves of a deli near you. Tristan was chosen to create a work of art exclusive to Brisk Iced Tea to be featured on their 'Sweet Tea' flavor. It's out now and we gotta admit - it's pretty darn sexy! Congrats guys!

Also the picture is "untitled on his website, but for Lipton its called " Absolute Satisfaction."

Can I be wrong,or does an artist not want you to imagine whatever they put on their art.?Could it be the intentions of the artist or is it the viewers fault??

Is Michealangelos Dave art to some or just some statue of some naked dude??

The statue of David is an art, to see the beauty of man, almost sculpt into perfection even it has its own flaws. I remember the outrage of public at one time, to cover up his "personals" with towels! Really, I never think of the statue or any naked statue as racy or sexual "turn on" but mere curiousity of the man's physical shape, how the muscles conforms to the skeltal structure and how the artist perceives the "perfect man" should look like, almost idol like. Is the David statue exactly like the real model guy that Micheangelo carved? probably not. I bet he carved it most like it but twisted it to make it look better and much pleasing to the eye. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_(Michelangelo) I can see two flaws, his hand and the structure of his ah-hem.... (when I was in art class in college, we all were taught that David was uncircumized male due to religion back in those days but reading Wikipedia, it says it was done differently back in those days.......ahhhhhhhh, learning something new every day!).

All in all, I do like the statue and I hope no one takes offense of any statue that the public can appreciate the beauty and creativity that the artist wants us to see.

Bwhahhaha! For real,..

gmendoza, you must be pulling our leg, right??
There is nothing racy about that picture at all...
I think your mind is working "overtime",.. or something..

I don't particularly like the artwork, but I don't find it racy or offensive. Honestly, I find the sexest advertising of 20-60 years ago to be much, much more offensive!

It just looked wierd. "absolute satisfaction with two women on it looking ummmm...pleased.

The artwork is masterful,cept for the chopped head,true, it just wasnt something I expected. My wife didnt even notice the artwork.Guess my mind was working overtime. I dont know.I work too much. I have no life.

On the other funny hand, some people commented about the bottle art while I was in the breakroom.They said " it was innapropriate to display that at work".I mean cmon.I didnt do the artwork,its just a drink. Maybe that was what got me to think this.

Ok. Note to brain: Two women looking 'absolute satisfied" doesnt mean they were "absolutly satisfied".
2nd note to brain: shut down. ctrl alt del.

Guess I just wanted to see what y'alls thought.

Redhen sought me out.
