This is, of course, an ad for pork. I can’t believe it took the industry this long to help us females make the important connection between clear nail polish and pork tenderloin.

Then again, maybe we should have figured this out on our own. I mean, after all, clear nail polish is the “estrogen equivalent of duct tape.” As for a pork tenderloin, one “can fix just about anything with it lickity-split too—Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Hawaiian Cobb Salad…” I mean, let’s not mince words: you can basically forget about snaring a husband sans pork and polish.

Not sure which makes me gag more, the kicker (“The Other White Meat and clear nail polish. Two handy-dandy things I can’t live without”) or the very pink color of the raw pork in the ad, which if I am not mistaken looks unnaturally pink…

Found on Salon’s women’s blog, Broadsheet. Originally spotted on Copyranter.
