Does Your Day Need Some Warming Up?

Image via Huffington Post

It's Monday. In January. It's cold and more or less cloudy in Chicago. Maybe it's snowy or rainy in your neck of the woods. Either way, it's Monday and January, so your day is bound to need a quick warm up.

As always, Little Merry Sunshine has you covered thanks to David Beckhan being nearly entirely uncovered.

Watch the new H&M commercial set to officially debut during the Super Bowl (yes, it will be super with this to look forward to) and just try to tell me your day didn't get a little brighter and your winter chill didn't warm up just a bit.



Sweet Lord in Heaven, thank you for the gift that is David Beckham in his tighty whities.

Ads You Won't See During the Superbowl But Should

Here are two ads you won't see during the Superbowl but should.
Planned Parenthood's Response to the Tim Tebow Focus on the Family Anti-Choice ad:


I don't think Planned Parenthood has tried to get their ad aired during the Superbowl, but I also don't imagine that Planned Parenthood thinks spending almost $3 million for a 30-second spot is a good use of their limited resources when those resources could be better used to help provide healthcare for women.

Mancrunch Gay Dating Website ad:

CBS says their Standards and Practices department decided to reject the ad. Sure, this ad is racy, but it is less over-the-top or offensive than some of the previous Superbowl ads we've been subjected to?

Take a look at this homophobic 2009 Snickers Superbowl ad.


GoDaddy is also famous for their racy ads:


Lastly, check out this ad for AshleyMadison.com, a website for people looking to have extramarital affairs. It was banned in most of the U.S., but ran in Texas last year. Personally, I'm so offended by the ad endorsing infidelity that I won't put it on Little Merry Sunshine.

The Superbowl has a history of over-the-top and often offensive ads. It's too bad that they've decided this year to show an ad encouraging women to defy their doctors' advice and possibly risk their lives and have a history of being homophobic, sexual, and encouraging infidelity, while ignoring perfectly legitimate relationships and empowering women.
