Do Mail-Order Brides Really Come In Shipping Crates?

[Wild Orchid]

Is it an image of RW you are promoting?   Who is it on the cover?

[Jooky]

What are you obecting to? Did you arrive in a different sized box?

Ohhh sorry,  I haven't even noticed that box.. See? My story is kind of different to yours.  There was no box involved in my relationship.   

[Jooky]

There was no box involved in my relationship.

Were you shipped in a crate? My last relationship didn't come in a box either. My buddies and I order a package deal shipped in a bulk freight wooden crate. It was a good deal for a few of my friends, but my bride didn't arrive as expected.   I'll use Fed Ex next time.

I would like to answer but I'm not allowed  In any case it is insulting for RW. IMHO

Wild, don't you see that it's a humorous parody of the "mailorder bride" thing. It's pretty obvious IMO

[froid]

It could be taken as a parody.  Or just another way that the stereotype sneaks into the mainstream. 

Of course clever cover, will get attention on the shelves anyway.

[alenika]

I like the cover  In case if I get some question about me being mail order bride I am going to reply the way: "Yes, mail order bride. Just you know it took lond to find the post mail box where I would fit" 

WO don't worry about insults of RW. Normal people will understand the irony. Stupid people will not understand anything even if you put IMBRA or INS form on the cover.

Of course not! Actually, I think the image is promoting something far more insidious: the idea that RW don't breathe air!

Take a look at the packaging. Do you see any air holes? Is there an oxygen tank in the box? The answer is "no".

After taking some time to examine the image, I think Manny is trying to promote the idea that RW are somehow a superior species and that the Western world will soon be taken over by goregous non-breathing Russian women in miniskirts and thigh-high boots and.... on second thought, would that really be such a bad thing? 

[Manny]

We never thought to put air holes in the box! Nor did the photoghrapher! 

You probably cant read it on an image this size, but the tape around the bottom of the box says "CAUTION! - Handle with care." - which I thought quite fitting.

obviously it wasn't' to me. As I said before, at first glimpse I didn't even notice a box, just another slutty thing posing to be a RW

Please, Manny, don't take an offence. I understand that your wife is "in character"

  There was no box involved in my relationship.   

Hm... I thought there must be at least one box involved?

The one in the application form...

In "Marital status" paragraph  :

Box is a 3-d figure. I had to tick many squares

Actually she is an RW. Most people understand marketing and parody.

If you want to start a "What was the motivation for this?" topic in "Чат на русском языке" I am sure she will answer your questions directly.

But English is not always a logical language. I learnt it like Olga too "Tick the Box".

Like you park on a driveway... Strange eh.

[tonton]

I like the cover, let's see what happens with it Manny.

in order to decide for sure, we might have to see the rest of Olga's photos from that photo shoot
Come on Manny let's see what you had to work with!

[Wild Orchid]

I know your wife is Russian, I was just telling about the chain of my thoughts and when I was looking on the cover, i had no idea who was on it.

How about you focus on your own wife, and not others' - peepingtom(T)!!

When are your advances ready?

hey, nothing wrong with admiring a beautiful woman, is there??? It's like enjoying looking at a work of art!

so when I'm looking on real postage box with real woman in it I obviously should keep in mind all "boxes" I ticked in my life in all application forms and surely I have no right to say "there was no boxes in my relationship"? Weirdest conclusion I was ever made to come to...

That would also not be my conclusion. I'd say its strange english humor and you have to have a taste for it.

Not everyone likes dry brittish humour.

Kinda like the girl jumping out of the Birthday cake. :

...but the look on her face hides the fact that she going to kill that man who made me travel economy class!
