addendum

Also I just saw something awesome - there was this commercial about some razor that includes shaving gel or moisturizer or something. The main pretense was that your legs would be unbelievably smooth, and it showed mens' hands stroking the womens' legs in various locations.

The amusing thing is that these ad agencies are so careful to show that it's okay for such behavior to be occurring that they usually imply that the couple is married. So, the guy's hand always has a wedding ring on it. The best, though, was the last guy - his wedding ring was on the wrong hand, just to make sure it was visible to the camera. How ridiculous is that? Like anyone believes the commercial actors/actresses are married to each other - so there's clearly some 'sin' going on at some level, even if you try to cover it up with a fake wedding band.

That being said, the next time I grope someone, I'm going to wear a ring so that I don't get arrested.

This could be because A) they're European; B) she's having an affair with an Austrian tennis instructor; C) he's wearing a wedding ring to attract no commitment one night stands; D) the shot was mirrored because some post production marketing exec thought it appealed better.
