Confusing Your Chamois With Your Chainsaw?

I really don't get to see many other cyclists on my epic trans suburban commute. I cover 60km each way and the only other cyclist I see normally is the guy who bundles up the herbs at the local chinese fruit, veg and grocery shop on his 20 year old Kmart mountain bike. You know the one with an aging polystyrene foam box held to the rack with a bungee cord. He rides in thongs, in winter. I cover roads with a total of about 3.6km of useless, intermittent bike lanes.

So, with all this in mind, it's not surprising that the Great Cycling Boom in commuter bike use has gone largely unnoticed. Imagine my surprise on my way home last night, to see this large ad on the back of a bus, warning about the use of inferior chamois.

At about this point, I'd ridden in the same knicks at track training and then on to work in the morning and had clocked another 50km in muggy 34 degree heat, into a headwind on the way home. So this wasn't far from how my knicks were feeling. It's not entirely clear from the ad though, just which knicks use this special chamois. Assos - I'll bet.
