Personally I cannot see anything offensive about these posters, at least they are tame in comparison to some of the images show on TV, both in commercials and pre-watershed programmes.
But this is from a males point of view, do you ladies find them denigrating towards women in any way?
I don't see why these images need to be used to advertise a MAN's suit.... the one I find particularly unnecessary and borderline offensive is the one where he's looking up her dress. Why?
I can understand the outcry, on this occasion, and in view of the whereabouts of the ads' positioning.
I'm with docspock, where I like the posters and they would be ok in an adult only setting. It's not acceptable for kids seeing half naked or suggestive posters, especially the one where the man is pulling up the womans skirt for the simple fact that kids do and learn what they see and I don't like the fact that "little johnny' sees this and then thinks it's ok to pull up girls skirts at nursery or school.
Agreed zeuhl, It looks like it's escaped from the 70's and the only thing missing is a turtleneck sweater to replace the shirt.
Any reason i wasn't agreed with den53 :(
Well...........except for the skirt lifting which I felt was very nicely done, the other picures were quite normal and totally acceptable.
We see sex on TV, kids now watch it on their PC´s, Tampax adverts are on the TV and just go down the underground in London and see quite explicit posters.
No...........nothing to get excited about in my opinion.
But it's unnecessary.... if this were an ad in a man's mag then I wouldn't be particularly offended - at least she had a bl00dy dress on, which is unusual in itself for a man's mag. But.... not in a shopping centre, not the peeking under her dress one.
