This is actually a modified version of the original BMW ad which ran in Greece and attracted Internet attention back in July 2008. Someone added the second line "But do you really care?" and posted it on Digg recently. You can see the original ad here: http://www.bushautoblog.com/2008/07/bmw-you-know-youre-not-first.html There is even an online petition to stop the ad with 65 whole signatures! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/33/petition-against-bmw-ad-that-degrades-women On Sun, 10 Jan 2010 12:52:15 -0500 (EST), der Mouse <mouse () Rodents-Montreal ORG> wrote:

I agree with you that it's well-done. (I'm not sure I'd go as far as "brilliant", but at worst it's a small exaggeration.) But I also agree with your detractors that it is perpetuative of sexism and offensive in at least a few ways.
