responded with Internet porn. Way to go, Commandante Dipshit.
Not only are you a fearmongering idiot, but you're a pathetic
sexist porn-consumer.

Quixote apparently lacks the necessary brainpower to grasp.]
If you are afraid of sex or bikes, you shouldn't go to Holland. But
this is NOT porno. This is a sexy lady on a bike. Yummy!
Hey, but even in hypocritical America, Big Business uses sex to
sell...
"In the case of SUV consumers, the auto company marketers start by
implanting the subliminal message you can be tough, independent and
SEXY..."
'To sell a product (like an SUV) ad campaigns repeat a message over
and over again in seductive way that appeals to a target audience, and
like it or not people are not immune to it. Advertising like political
propaganda is the art of getting people to believe a crafted message
and advertisers know what buttons to push, kind of like how the
Taliban brain washed their followers into believing that the United
States is the enemy of Islam or how Nazi propaganda was able to put
Hitler in power. So to some degree consumers of SUVs, followers of the
Taliban and Nazi party, all have something in common and that is they
all were fooled into buying bullshit!
In the case of SUV consumers, the auto company marketers start by
implanting the subliminal message you can be tough, independent and
SEXY, if ya buy and drive our brand of SUV. Notice many ads show an
SUV in a wilderness, the H2 ads show it off roading in Iceland (the
viewer is shown beautiful people conquering nature and having fun). In
some National Geographic print ads for Toyota, they show back packers
with their SUVs in the wilderness, with the slogan “oh what a
feeling.” The basic idea of an auto company ad campaign is to
associate driving their SUV with the idea of being SEXY, tough and
independent. The tough and independent image of driving an SUV is
further reinforced by the name of the vehicle (Path Finder, Trail
Blazer, Mountaineer, Escape, Explorer, Expedition, etc.). Constant
exposure to slick ads fools people into thinking they can “walk the
walk” of being independent and tough just by buying the SUV shown in
the idealized dreamland of advertisers. If you do not think SUV
propaganda effects the consumer, then ask your self is it just a
coincidence that SUVs became trendy after SUV advertising rose nearly
nine-fold from $172.5 million in 1990 to $1.5 billion in 2000.'

And when you go to any auto show you find these stunning ladies
selling the stupid SUVs in scanty cloth. SEX SELLS, you know.
So, I don't see why not the Banana Revolution can't use sexy ladies
and bananas to sell biking. Yeah, banana... ;)

Actually, I propose a "Dutch Package," where issues normal to the
Dutch --gay rights, bike facilities, prostitution and marihuana-- are
discussed in less open societies.
