Ann Summers drops the Big One.

Apple not reaching iGasm climax

Leading UK-based adult retailer Ann Summers is facing accusatory finger pointing from the lawyers of electronics giant Apple Inc. this week concerning the appearance of an adult product and an accompanying commercial campaign that would appear to borrow rather heavily from the influence carved by Apple’s hugely popular iPod and iTunes brand.

Specifically, Ann Summers has released an iPod-compatible vibrating sex aid, the iGasm, which, while certainly questionable in terms of naming, is employing an advertising campaign that closely resembles the dancing silhouette commercials used so successfully by Apple’s iconic iPod. In the case of the iGasm, one ad image shows a white trailing lead from the iGasm clearly disappearing beneath the invisible underwear line of a provocatively silhouetted female, while another lead runs to a pair of head phones. It’s all VERY iPod.

And just in time for this venerated national month of festive celebration.

Actually, that ad is pretty hot.

The song "Detachable Penis" comes to mind.
