Should One Person Be Enough

So one person complained. I wonder from which religious persuasion they came from?

Do ABers think it is too provocative? and should a ban be off the back of a single complaint?

I don't have any objection to it. Nothing is showing and it's simply a parfum advert.

Having seen those photos of her at the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, I think she should have been arrested for indecency instead of gaining the Fashion Icon Award.

And these are the type of people who some of our young set up as their role models.

Incidentally she was also asked to leave from outside the Abu Dhabi Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, although wearing little difference from the local females.

I'm usually pretty relaxed about such things but yes I think it's overly sexual in the nether regions and inappropriate for perfume. It's also obviously massively photoshopped which makes it worse.

Broadcasters are often censured following a single complaint by a member of the public. The fact that only one person complained does not mean that rules can be disregarded.

The ASA got a tourist 'attraction' to change it's website because I complained.

Yes and no. The problem is, how to interpret those rules and whether or not that person has sufficient clout to enforce a more rigorous enforcement.

surely something like this, as shown by the posts, is purely subjective?
