Chip Chop winners pokes fun at Axe/Lynx with priests + most read this week

The Chip Chop awards, where advertising stops taking itself so seriously and pokes fun at itself, has announced the winners. The father dear father finalist in "best use of bad taste" looks like it could even be a contender in Neil Hamburger's art contest.

I'm not supposed to point out the 'oversexification' of advertising, while you keep putting up dating ads with sultry blondes who are just aching for me to call them, or game ads that get naughtier as the campaign progresses? Okaaay.
