but when I first saw it I cringed inside. I knew the backlash and I know this type of thing will turn off some women. Whether those women were ever going to vote for PBO is another question. I think we're too wrapped up in sex in the US, obvious in all the recent GOP rape talk. It's nice to see an ad positive about sex even if it's just innuendo.
