Are we talking about the adult toy section or just in general?

eBay would be a lot more popular.

Actually, eBay would probably try to charge an additional fee for "sexual" advertising.

I suddenly have the urge to buy a Lincoln... If the big 3 had started to advertise like this they wouldn't have needed a bailout, lol.

If you're referring to the car, no.

Maybe they're selling the lady?

Agreed.

Sir, the title is extremely misleading: She is hardly "half-naked" 🙄

Nor is she half a naked woman, since that would likely get the police involved in the sale of the car.

Not to mention all the gore on the lincoln, that'll require some expensive cleaning.

We need a volunteer to get with this woman and take detailed measurements of how much skin surface area is available for display versus, how much is shown in that outfit.

Any volunteers?

Now a hot naked guy on the other hand... 😀😛

Speaking as a straight male who is also a rabid car guy, I can say that <guilty expression> the first thing I saw was the car...😱

...but, within an instant I recognized it as a boring early 90's Lincoln Town Car in an ugly blue, and moved on to the lass. A much better proposition than the car!

I don't know, there are guys that have been arrested for molesting cars.

You know you are hopeless, when you are attracted to a 1990 Town Car.
