This makes me think of subliminal advertising, which you find in
perfume commercials, alcohol commercials (print media only now) just
to name a few.  It least with out and out porn, they don't try to
sneak around the viewer's sensitivities.

I saw a funny TV ad, which was shown in Austrailia, trying to show
women how important a comfortable bra was.  It showed, in slow motion,
a woman playing tennis with her breasts bouncing up and down.  It was
so blatant and honest.  I found it refreshing.  I get tired of
filtering out the BS the U.S. ad companies throw at me.
