I think the pressures of the recession have caused the Showtime advertising staff to start smoking crack.


Okay, so this is the poster for the new season of The Tudors. Can somone please explain to me why Jonathan Rhys Meyers appears to be sitting on a throne of naked people? That's ridiculous all on its own, but let's also remember that this is season three. The Jane Seymour season. Jane Seymour was rather conservative. Jane Seymour was so conservative that she limited the actual number of pearls her courtiers could wear on their persons. She didn't want people getting all flashy with the pearls. She was Tudor England's version of Martha Stewart, if Martha Stewart had shunned the decorative arts and entered a nunnery. Jane Seymour would have been mortified by this picture.

Seriously, ad people, why is he SITTING on a throne of naked bodies?

That's just disturbing. Unfortunately it's the kind of image that sticks in your head, which I'm sure the ad department planned when they devilishly created it in Photoshop. Seriously, it had to take forever to make this junk.
