...been waiting patiently, hoping that you'll turn out to be a revolutionary of the order of Herminie Cadolle. About 120 years ago, Mme. Cadolle figured out that it made more sense for women's breasts to be suspended from above than cantilevered from beneath. That is, she invented bra straps. So instead of walking around wearing the lingerie equivalent of the London Bridge, women could slide themselves into a Golden Gate. This was a huge relief--as anyone who has worn a strapless bra can tell you--because the London Bridge pretty much always falls down...

In a Spanish ad, an attractive woman wearing a jogging bra sweats through her workout, then gulps a bottle of the company's Lanjarn water. This vision of radiant, healthy beauty seems a bit at odds with the packaged cookies tempting visitors at the reception desk. More delicious cookies are waiting in the conference room. But, says Laurent Sacchi, Danone's senior vice president of communications, eyeing one of the cookie packets, these...
