Can anyone fathom the logic behind the move to rotoscope? Hm?

But a principal difficulty with the Tampax campaign is its “sanitary product” category, which is one that many advertisers and media approach gingerly for fear of giving offense. For example, in the Tampax spring break ads, Burnett had to delete a scene in which women sitting on men’s shoulders were in a contest to push each other over. The networks prohibit ads that show men physically interacting with women who might be menstruating.

Imagine letters the size of the Hollywood sign spelling out WTF.

The article is ten years old, so I have no idea if that policy is still in effect…I know that anecdotal evidence is barely worth mentioning, but ever since reading that article I’ve been watching tampon ads closely and I swear I’ve never seen one in which a dude touches a lady. (This being the Internet, of course, fifteen other commenters will immediately say that they see it all the time.)

But even if that policy was overturned the next day, 1999 is still a shockingly late date for such a thing to have been in effect.
