Hypocritical Sexist Advertising Slogan of the Day

Heard this morning on a TV Advert for the latest Gillette razor (on GM-TV):

Get your man a new shave, and get yourself a new man.”

Would they have got away with that applied to a woman?

“Get your woman a new facial / perfume / push-up bra and get yourself a new woman.”

Somehow I think they wouldn’t suggest that a woman can be improved or transformed by something somebody else can do to her.

Any other good examples?
