the cancer that is killing /b/ will soon kill us all. =/
So where's the misogyny? In ass-raping ponchos, or the bitches' poncho?
A spot of green!! Just what I was looking for!
Got to get me some, I want \"bitches all up on (my) dick.\"
People need to lighten-up and if you don't like something just just turn the fck'n dial and move on.
I can't believe this actually made its way into a magazine???? Editors around much?

I can't stop laughing. I'm glad my office mate is out to lunch right now, this would be embarrassing otherwise.
The \"fat\" thing I found rather offensive...
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-87429-100x100.png\")
A+...great marketing.

@donkeyjote: Where is says \"pretend you ain't fat\" and \"bitch ain't even cold\" in the Lady Poncho section of the ad.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-150574-100x100.png\")
Woman here. I am in a fit of giggles. Love it.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-391434-100x100.png\")
@B: So it's better if they don't pretend they're not fat? Or if they are cold? Damn, give a bitch a break!
I would buy 4 of these, I mean, look! Bitch ain't even cold in that poncho!

I am an angry, patriarchy-hating feminist... and I'm laughing my ass off.
@MayorBee: I think someone's just mad that they don't get any Fucking Blue or Fucking Orange or Sweet Fucking Pink, just Beige . Not even Fucking Beige at that.
@Truvill, that's probably because you're fat :D
p.s. I laughed my ass off at that ad.

Vertical stripes would be more slimming.

That is so funny- I totally want a fucking poncho. And the best part about the poncho craze of a few years back is that , yeah, you could \"pretend you ain't fat\".
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-125075-100x100.png\")
Of course it's misogynist and in bad taste. That's what makes it funny.

I'm like, old enough to be your mom and stuff.
I'm laughing myself silly.
Some people need to lighten the f*ck right up.
Tsk Tsk Tsk Consumerist. Always with the one sided reporting. Why not also tell us you found atleast one compliment from another reader:
Holy fuck, I wants me a poncho! I injured myself laughing. I'll never read the Dig again when I'm high. Also, it's hard to read when you're stoned. You motherfuckers! Awesome. Who's responsible?
-Seth
Also, Nom Nom Nom greatest cartoon lol-cat + chezeburgr evar.
hehehehe. This made my day.
There's always at least a few people insulted by a joke or an ad no matter what. Tell them to fucking calm down and buy some fucking panchos!
\"Fat Pam\" wants that fucking poncho and she'll kill to get it!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-9085-100x100.png\")
I haven't laughed this hard in a couple of days. Thanks Consumerist.
@donkeyjote: I had just assumed that beige was an earth tone while fucking beige would have been gauche. Maybe fucking beige doesn't complement her shoes.
@louveciennes: you and me both.
The fat thing - I used to be fat, and I will physically assault someone for using the word \"fattie(s)\" in my presence. But damn, like you haven't known (or been) a woman who used some draping clothing to cover up the fact that she was heavy. Shit, I did that (although I never went the poncho route. It always felt like giving up).
on \"bitch\" - my solution has been to apply the word to everyone, regardless of sex, in a number of situations. I also try to use \"asshole\" to describe women more, when I fear the particularly misogynist meanings behind bitch are what will be implied, and are not what I wish to apply (e.g., \"Hillary Clinton is an asshole\"). I try to be gender-neutral in my rampant vulgarity.
Holy crap, Lois!! This is hilarious!
@louveciennes
Whats wrong with fatties? Fat chicks need lovin too imo.
Fucking ponchos are the fucking coolest! I'm going to go buy one when I get off work. I hope they have one in \"sweet fucking pink\"!

old ass weekly dig...yawn. They tried to capitalize on the ROFLcon awesomeness.
Though the issue was funny. The 'FTW' red sox themed shirts were lame, though.
I mean, if you take the weekly dig seriously on any day, that's probably a bad sign.
@camille_javal: I personally like to call ladies 'douchebags' a lot. And assholes, but everyone can be a douche in my book, regardless of sex, creed, age, etc.

This seems to me a blatant knockoff of that \"Goddam his font's got SERIFs\" Obama joke ad a while ago, and the chandelier thing from SNL.
I'm a humorless bonerkilling Feminazi, and I found both of these ads pretty funny.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-376077-100x100.png\")

![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-403500-100x100.png\")
Well I'm an uber-feminist and I find nothing offensive about this ad. Actually it makes me want to go out and buy a fucking poncho! I mean, come on, it's fucking beige!!!
Actually, I have no problem with fat chicks. It's all good in the hood. Plus, they can just wear a fucking poncho.

@Kajj: Umm, my statement was also a joke. \"I bet these people actually believe that wearing AXE will get you laid, too!!\" No one in their right mind is going to believe that wearing a poncho is going to have bitches all up on your dick or that wearing a fragrance will make the women find you desirable despite the fact that that is what their ad campaign revolves around (and, yes, I know it is a joke.) This is on the same level as the AXE commercials in my opinion. Eye roll inducing but not particularly offensive.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-119389-100x100.png\")
It's in the same vein as LOOK AT THAT FUCKING FRUIT meme that was around.
Example:
@donkeyjote: If that is directed at me, the stupid person, see my post to Kajj.
Reading comprehension, people!
sweet fucking poncho

I kind of wish the \"shit\" had been spelled more like \"sheee-iit\". But otherwise, A++++ WOULD LAUGH AGAIN
Dudes,this weekend I SAW a dude in a poncho and mandles walking through Williamsburg carrying a frikkin' acoustic guitar, no joke. That shit's fucked up.
@thelushie: ... I was agreeing with your \"Some people actually believe Axe works like that\" idea....

Women here too and I am NOT in a fit of giggles.
How is it that the one fucking issue of the Dig that I miss had this in it??? I probably would have put it on our refrigerator. sweet baby jesus!
But what if you put AXE on this poncho?

@Erskine: Someone watches too much TV, I ain't sure if it is you for making the reference or me for knowing that it comes from last nights Bones.
@dtmoore: Are you high? I didn't say anything about fatties. In fact, I am fat myself, just another reason to giggle at this ad.
Axe doesn't work?
Sweet Baby Jesus would love the shit out of that fucking poncho!!
@donkeyjote: Ooops...got a little carried away by the F-word there. I'm at work and have to watch my language, but decided typing the obscenities would be OK.

![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-128001-100x100.png\")
@thelushie: But by saying \"these people,\" it looks like you don't understand that the ad itself is a joke. Not just the people here responding to it. That makes me a little sad.
Sure I can see the misogynist angle on it, but I also see the 'effing funny angle of it too. The joke was simple got me to chuckle, but that was about it. Oh, and my Aunt whore the shit out of Poncho's...... so that was the part that made me giggle you're not hiding anything!
@SlappySquirrel: that's what makes it, uh, funny.
Gah. I see the feminazis at Jezebel have invaded. Kill the laughter now.

i love the weekly dig, my favorite free local read here in boston.
Yeah, the ass-raping bit was kind of strange.

Axe does in fact work.. Every time I wear it I get mauled by roving packs of cheerleaders. The same happens when people see me whip out my Alltel cell phone.
I'm Mexican, and I Find this offensive. Fat Chicks Don't Wear Ponchos, that is a biased view...otherwise, SWEET FUCKING PONCHO, actually in mexico it's called a Sarape,or Saw-rah-peh. I'll Buy 2.
If I was a woman I would love it.
As a man I adore it.
Good laugh!
It's totally offensive. The only honky that can wear a poncho is Eastwood. Everyone else is as bad as Hitler.

If you like this, search for \"powerthirst\" on youtube.

No seriously. That is funny, people are sensitive cry babies, and as always, please, all offended, get over it.
No sense in crying over things that simply do not effect you.
Don't like the joke? Don't laugh.
Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho, who can tell anymore

Since i work in the publicity field, all i can say this ad is awesome!!!! Pretty hilarious too. I didn´t find it misogynist or offensive, i find it brilliant; I wish i could get that magazine down here in México...

@SkokieGuy: \"Axe doesn't work?\"
Axe doesn't work for us homos :( I mean, we get gaggles of girls flocking after us, but only to ask us if their shoes go with their new contacts they got :(
They need to make Homo-Axe - to attract all the menz!!
So many problems with this ad, I don't know where to start... I mean, the word green doesn't need to be on the next line, which wold leave some breathing space between the paragraphs.
And \"ass raping\" needs a hyphen.
And doesn't \"aint\" need an apostrophe between the n and the t?
No wonder there are complaints about this ad!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-69891-100x100.png\")
I can has fucking ponchos?
jesus people need to pull the stick out of their collective asses, if you don't find it funny turn the page and move on, don't make a federal case out of it. If someone tells a joke that's not funny do I go complain to anyone? no... same freaking basis. people need to get off of their high horses and get a sense of humor or learn to shut their traps sometimes. I'd hate to see what would happen if the person who found this offensive were to end up on /b/...
i really admire the random capitalization. very good imitation of crappy local ads.

frankly, I am offended... there are two spots of green.
It IS offensive.
Talk about low-brow humor...
There are plenty of funny articles, with clever comments, but this (article) is not one of them.
If it's not funny without \"ass-raping,\" then it's not that funny.
To me, it seems like the ad would be exactly as funny without that.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-285067-100x100.png\")
Hell yeah.
FARK really needs to give up on the Photoshop contests if this is the best they can do, or was this 4chan? is there a difference?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-9040-100x100.png\")
I'm surprised I didn't see more anger from religious people at the first three words, \"Sweet Baby Jesus!\"
No matter how lowbrow or simple you make humor, you can guarantee in this Pre-Idiocracy state we live in there will always be somebody whose head it will sail over. There's people in this world who take Team America World Police as jingoism. I'm not surprised that at least one person complained about that ad. Bad taste? OF COURSE! Misogynistic? Well, it wouldn't be nearly as offensive or hilarious if it WASN'T misogynistic, would it?
That gives me an idea, I'm gonna start a website with fake ads based around \"shaggy dog stories\". Like, picture a banana, and then the ad copy runs all over the entire page in tiny little print that takes ages to read, talking about how great these oranges are, they're so high in potassium and vitamin C, and then at the very bottom of the ad, it says, oh wait, this is a banana.
Then I can wait until I get a complaint that says, \"Dear Sir, your recent banana advertisement contained numerous misleading and/or irrelevant statements...\"
I'm a woman.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I *created that poncho ad* Swear to god.
I'm an improviser in San Francisco in a group (that has performed in Boston) called Oui Be Negroes. www.ouibenegroes.com
I love that people like it. I had three glasses in me when I did it as a joke on an Extreme Advertising Website. What is the one thing you would never find extreme.
Well...a fucking poncho.
Glad you enjoy it. Even more stunned it made the Boston Weekly!
