Censored Toy Ads

The Naked Rubik's Cube is Too Hot for Print

If you've never thought of a Rubik's Cube as a naked, leggy woman, then you clearly haven't seen the naked Rubik's Cube ad. Elise Devery is the genius behind these print ads in which a Rubik's Cube is stripped of all of its colors out of frustration.

The censor bars are a nice touch to the naked Rubik's Cube ads. I love the direction Devery has taken to with these ads. I never though of the Rubik's Cube as anything but a puzzle toy, but my eyes have now been opened thanks to an attached pair of legs and a censor bar. If you are one for creative ads, then you are definitely going to want to check out the naked Rubik's Cube ad. Now if only we could get a Sudoku pinup calendar.
