Three Holes

An ad campaign by Pentel (pentel.com) claims their new pen, the impulse, is a vehicle for the best use of three holes since ... the bowling ball. Clever sexual innuendo there.

Additionally, the ad finally ends with an animated line drawing of a person grooving in excited, sexual exhortations, with the pen hung around their neck as a lanyard--thus the use of one of the three holes. The dancing gyrator is mildly ripped off from Apple's iPod silhouette campaign.

Anyway, I've always liked pens, and in general utensils created for scribing, but I never knew just how incredibly perverted a pen could be. I might get one simply to spend hours with my newfound collection of holes. Think of the possibilities.

As of this posting, even Google didn't have an image of the pen. Apparently Pentel is hoping to keep the pen in your hands only.
