A Bagel New World
This ad is old. I hate old ads. I want all new ads.
Mark over at The Skwib has challenged me to create a vintage-style ad for a fictional future product, taken from a literary source. After much grueling masturbation, I went with the first thing that popped into my head: Soma, from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World
You can play, too. There are prizes!

I feel bad that no one has commented on this post so I’m gonna go for 4 grammes and hope for the best.
Have a masturbating day.

(I must have been picking up your thoughts, because I was thinking of soma and you masturbating.)

I would probably have some real sex and wouldn’t need to masturbate.

My best sex was in my crank/speed/meth days.
It kills your system but if you can find a willing partner its a fucking blast.
Sex and drugs just seem to go so well together. Especially when its understood between the two of you that you’re not in love.
Everyone should do the 2/3 day sex marathon at least once in their life.
Its hard to admitt to some of the things you’ll do while high on the shit, but looking back it was all in good fun. And anyone else who was high and participating cant get all self righteous with you
Talk about burning the mattress ?

Cappy, Goose: I love pity comments as much as I love pithy comments.
Mark: Yeah, I know. I washed my hands.
Micky, Freddy: My mattress is too old to burn. The smell of smoldering jew hair would be overwhelming.

Smoldering Jew Hair? That’s a good one, bagel! We might as well burn the socks you take off in the night and get trapped between the bed and the wall, too.

Micky2,
In all regards, I can sure you sex and superpowers just seem to go so *FANTASTIC* together, plus the combo doesn’t kill you. (wink).

Freddy: You love me, don’t you?
Soy: My socks are single use.
Entomo: I’ve been denied all the best ultra sex…
Key: See what I did there?
