Dracula Rides the Red Tide
Behold!!!! The Tampon-fanged Vampire!
You know, I was able to buy Edward as a compassionate human-lover in “Twilight” because I wanted to believe that he could control his bloodlust and fall in love with a human girl and no, I’m not 14. But this OB tampon ad is going a step further and insinuating that there could possibly be a breed of vampire that exists that would also not rip out your throat for a little fun and food- as they would be more than happy to absorb your menses with their cotton tampon fangs.
Initial Thoughts:
A) Disgusting. Period blood is like the crunk juice, the natty light, the moonshine of human fluids. I imagine blood from one’s corotid artery is way more refreshing than expelled uterine lining, but hey..thats just me.
B) What EXACTLY is OB saying here? Will this vampire come when he senses someone is on the rag and stick his absorbent teeth down there to lap it all up? Then what??? Does he walk around with two fully blossomed tampons hanging out of his head. That is one low level vampire.
C) Is this considered sexy, funny or cute? I say no. This ad has obviously made my head go to places I just shouldn’t go, and look…now I dragged all you innocent people into it to think about period juice.
D) Sorry, I guess.

Just hurled on the old k-dot-board.

How the fuck did this actually make it from someone’s little joke in his cubicle at the OB company to a real advertisement…The only explanation is that the joke Johnson in accounting made at the company christmas party somehow got mixed up with real ad set to print, like in that movie “Crazy People” with Dudley Moore. What the fuck, OB?

I feel especially bad for the model who had to pose for the ad. NOT something I would keep in my portfolio. “oh, yes…here I’m a tampire.
ps. OB are a bunch of effing morons anyway. Why encourage the concept of a tampon without an applicator? Ewwww. Welcome to modern civilization.

yeah, ob is not a pleasant or clean experience. i feel like i could have come up with the concept of this ad, on multiple bong rips, senior year of college. like the whole “how do vampires make tea?” joke.
answer:
hot water and a used tampon.

I’d like to clarify that we did not approve this image, it is not one of our advertisements, and it does not reflect our values and standards.
