Lacoste Elegance ~ Smells like urban paradise ~ and visually puey too

At least this ad disgusts us into action.  The Lacoste page will probably motivate me alone.

Your lycee teacher has a grade for you, Lacoste: quatre sur vingt! 

What?  Did you hire an architect to do your graphic design work?  Smack smack.
