Probably not a big deal... ...but has anyone else seen that "SeekingMillionaire.com" banner ad on Metafilter? It keeps popping up in relationship-y threads so I guess it's keywords about boyfriends or girlfriends trigger it.[More:]

I don't know if it's just me. I tend to yell at the TV a lot, and I really like dissecting ads for some reason. Also I feel like this wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't for the loooong week I've had at work with 10-11 hours this week and 4 hours of sleep. I don't know if being very mildly perturbed with a dash of cynically amused is a reason to post a MeTa thread, but seriously, really? REALLY? Homeboy gets to pose all pimped out in a tightly cropped bust-type of shot with a cigar while homegirl to the right is freezing her ass off to with a borderline NSFW pose that shows just enough of ass that it just might be NSFW for some people? I'm not even saying I take offense at the suggested nudity. At least give her some ice or bling bling or something. She could be suggestively straddling a diamond tiger for all I care as long as she had on a fierce Alexander McQueen dress and some smokin' Louboutins. Hell, strap her into a ridiculous Galliano number that barely covers her nipples...something!

I'm not doing some sort of PC indignation here, it's just that the disparity between the guy and the girl is so blatantly great. I just wanna throw a cute Burberry double-breasted 3/4 sleeve jacket over her so she doesn't catch a cold...having that low bodyfat and all =(. Hey dude on the left! At least hold the cigar closer to her so she can warm her hands or something!

Is it just me? People? I think I've gone off the deep-end finally...
Whoops, yea I guess it is lack of sleep, someone please "More inside" this =(

Ah ha! I was able to capture a screenshot of the banner kkokkodalk is talking about. Now, if I can just figure out how to post it....

Ha, thanks, Pink. Yea I had sort of a early afternoon brain meltdown today, but really, you can't see it from the screencap, but there is definite bit of bareass going on. I mean ok, beautiful ladies looking for rich men, sure, but I don't know, after having seen it the fifth time around I kind of snapped a little because it looked so, "I have nothing to offer but my naked body and come hither eyes, will you please dress me mister rich man?"

Dude I so agree. I mean the well-suited millionaire gent seeks buxom moll thing alright, but SEEKINGMILLIONAIRE is seriously scraping the barrel. Subtlety, people!
