re: the difference of acceptability in bras vs jockstraps, as demonstrated in
commercials.

Well, look, little children, or, all right, babies, anyway, have an immediate
and definite interest with what's in mommy's bra (I don't know that they >ahem<
have such an oral interest in ... um ... at least I HOPE NOT!!).  Although 
babies probably do have plenty of opportunity to view tv, it's not clear how
much of it they absorb (unless you put them too close).  And besides, I know
from my childhood experiences, that bra ads are usually coupled with soap
operas or early afternoon movies--times at which the little ones are either
still at school or down for their afternoon naps (I remember seeing the ads
on those days I claimed illness and then sat up in the afternoon trying to
figure out how anyone (although my mother warned me) could stay awake during
"As the World Turns" (just like grownup's church, it had organ music).).
When more men remain at home to raise children, then I'm sure a noticable
increase in jockstrap ads will occur.  >tee, hee<  Yes, but what will they
do to compete with the Jane Russell full-figure bra ads?
