Assvertising, Part Wev.

I was checking to see whether there was any baseball on TV today, and ran across this ad campaign (image from copyranter):


It's bad enough that the Twins aren't on TV. It's worse yet that White Sox announcers will be calling today's Cubs-Sox game, meaning I'll hear approximately 557 references to balls prior to the third inning ([TW: homophobia]Welcome to [TW: Rape Imagery]White Sox Nation*, Population: Balls). But this, ad? Really?

Look:

1) People have in fact told me to grow a pair. This happens to a lot women, and not just the transsexual ones.
2) By "down there", I assume you mean vagina?
3) You know what takes a certain amount of courage? Growing a pair, and subsequently asserting one's right to not have said pair.

*Okay, my personal biases are showing. There are plenty of wonderful people who root for the White Sox. I've just noticed an unfortunate trend in the last decade for said franchise to resort to mananalogies in tv broadcasts and promotional material.
