Take a stab at this!
Let me tell you something...
There I was enjoying my ride home on the 1/9 train after a long, LONG day of classes. The guy sitting next to me is reading "KNIFE" magazine. You'd think this would discourage me from reading over his shoulder, but it does not.
He flips the page and I see this:
I tapped the man on the shoulder and asked if I could get a picture of this ad because I felt the blog entry coming.
I'm trying to figure out if they are assuming that women feel proud when men look at their chest. Does this ad actually encourage this behaviour? I've been tempted to buy a knife to injur the people who stare at my chest.
It is just so unreal to me, how even the most basic of weaponry has to make you think of tits.
Ad Execs, this is disgusting.

I've read that ad, oh, like 7 or 8 billion times now and I just don't get what it's trying to say. Knife magazine?! =O

I don't know what worries me more: The ad, or the fact that you were willing to interrupt a guy on the train reading "Knife Magazine"???

I still can't figure out what it's trying to say, either. Why would you carry a knife near your chest? You're just asking to get stabbed.
