Title: Simucad Smart Spice Advertisement

I was in San Jose airport this past weekend. Only in the heart of silicon valley will you see EDA advertising in the airport. This one caught my eye and I had to take a picture of it (thank you for the iPhone in my pocket) -- To me, this just seems pretty improper, inappropriate or something. Judge for yourself:

What does it mean? Is that a pun?

Why would it be inappropriate? As any marketer would tell you, "Sex sells". Haven't engineers wanted their profession to be sexier and more noticed for years? I believe it is much better than Mentor Graphics' disgusting "Fairy with big belly" ad.
