And the worst thing is that in 3 - 5 years if not earlier I'll laught at the MP3 player I've got to day ;)

Yes, that's happened over and over in my lifetime. Record player, or Victrola, in the '60s gave way to 'compat' (audio) cassettes (I completely skipped over 8-tracks. Even as a teen, I could tell the sound was crap, even for the times), to CDs, and now mp3s. Each time, my reaction was something like, 'Wow, was (what I had just stepped up from) antiquated! Look how much faster/easier/better (the new technology) is!'

What's after mp3 players? The unit implanted in our heads? It just better not interfere with my hat!

On the other hand I got more than 3000 vinyl LPs and two record players in use and two recordplayers stored in the attic and they are still in unopened original boxes ;)

As a young boy I thought all these Maidenform ads were stupid. But when I started to study graphic design and began reading up on advertising I found out that these ads were an axtreme success. It only goes to show it is almost impossible to judge an ad that is not directed at you ;)

I do think the ad is directed at the male audience as well.
