How do we sell things to men? Let's try using beautiful faces of women. Wow that worked over expectations. It's not a bad omen, it's maximizing profits by hijacking basic human instincts like the urge for beauty youth and reproduction

Teenage girls aren't women, they're children.

And yet the article mentions teenage girls but not young women. And it certainly doesn't say anything about only 18 and up.

Not if you're a true christian person, then they are too young. Unless you're a pastor, then they are too old.

Yes, just like the Teen section in every porn site is child porn. That's why they are 2nd or 3rd most searched category, depending on demographic of the user.

you act like op was wrong. it ain't wrong. if it didn't work, you wouldn't see it. they don't waste much money on advertising, they spend it effectively.

Think of all those old, white men being tricked into clicking ads with teenage girls. No place is safe for them!

well, i consider myself an old white man, even though i'm only 52, and all i can think of when i see college cheerleaders and any girls that age is how they look like babies to me.

More, their wording is weird and claims teenage girls to be the epitome of sexual beauty which is, y'know, very libertarian.
