Brought to you by EAA*:

Here to advertise their Witness series, rather than one of the series of overweight white guys that usually fills this role as an actual shooter of some renown, is… this chick.

I actually kind of admire this commercial for the sheer determined effort at selling her rather than the gun. All of the cues I learned in body language books (and the occasional issue of Cosmo or its teen equivalents when I was younger) are there and really, really exaggerated- her eyes are as wide as if she just walked in on Michael Bane naked, she tilts her head enough to flip her hair a bit every time she wants to emphasize something, and she also keeps her elbows fully at parallel to make sure that at no point they cover her chest, which she also thrusts out with every emphasizing head-tilt and overall body spasm. If those teeth aren’t vaselined I’ll eat my rifle sling, too.

As a female shooter, I’m nonplussed and will stick with Les Baer, who tend to feature women that are slightly more convincing. As a bored and jaded consumer of sexualized pop culture, I’m impressed. Most people at least *try* to pretend. But these folks are most definitely all out.

*Yes, I know it’s stomping on the sidebar. We weren’t able to figure out how to make it.. not. It’ll scroll down soon.

First off, I wonder what the author knows about MB that she would assume that a hot babe would have her eyes wide in shock from seeing him nekid, you know this person personal Michael?

Second, while EAA has sold some crap in the past, I like my EZ40

Lastly, Haz, you need to turn the volume UP! then you know the ad involves guns.

You would figure with their connections in the European and American countries they could at least find better looking models. The girl is cute, but they should have found some chick completely hot like "Fiona" on the show "Burn Notice". Now she is hot!!!  :o
