Am I wrong for getting a kick out of this ad?

The Planter's Peanuts "nerdy girl" one. Maybe it's sexist, but it seems to also turn the whole "feminine mystique" thing on its head.

1. It's quite clever

Maybe I read too much into it, but I like the wit behind it. Makes fun of beauty, gender, fashion, reduces them all to un-thought out and uncontrolled impulses. I laughed when I first saw it.

The more I see it, the more it tickles me. The first time I saw it, I caught it in the middle and didn't quite get it.
