Topic: Should this Advert have been Banned?

The following advert has been banned in Britain because it "seems to show an underage model [<16] stripping off for the photographer.

Do you agree?

I think it's a load of over-sensetive cock, I think if you look at that and think "paedophillia" then you my friend have a deep, dark secret that not even you know about.
Sure, the model looks young (I'd peg her at 18ish) but given that the product being sold is aimed at young people... hmm

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Should this Advert have been Banned?

she indeed looks sad or unhappy
perhaps that aswell contributes to why I don't think it even looks like an add
also why must she be naked underneath? the open vest does look like more towards a pornpic
and it does look like an underage stripping of
look at the sequence of the pictures, first closed half open, open...
admit it's what they were thinking off,
and thinking is just as bad

and what kinda brandname is that  'F**XF****  flexfleece :s 2 F's an X, and
I don't even know that brand
and nor do I give a F*

also the article (on purpose) didn't show the more nude picture yikes

clothes don't need advertisement x( just go to store and find the one that fits you most and leave

Re: Should this Advert have been Banned?

you can find a load of stories like this from the uk, we have some crazy laws.  if you was to draw 2 stick people on a piece of paper with a bigger one on top of a smaller one you can get locked up for 4 years........ yeah really, its all to protect the children even if they dont actually exist

its what 13 years of a socialist/feminist government does for you.

and dont even try to classify the now illegal 'extreme pornography' laws....

GB is practically  totalitarian; get out of there before they plant chips in everyone's body and watch your entire life. the government's reaction to the ad shows they already are punishing people not for their actions, but for the people's imagination. hmmm, this isnt porn; but i can imagine that the girl is stripping, so its as good as porn and must be banned; it is not enough that they control what you see, they must control what you think too, because thoughts are dangerous.

Re: Should this Advert have been Banned?

the uk wants crap like this to blow up, they want kids murdered because then they can get parents to rfid chip there kids (the idea being knowing where your kids are will stop them being attacked..... just like cctv stops crime.... yeah right...)

and all you need is one generation of kids to be rfid'ed and then it becomes normal - they keep the chips for the rest of there life because of a government charge on removing the chips and risk to health..... then you get a controlled population.

there trying to ease it in with the new uk id cards, and the proposed pay per mile car tax (rfid in cars).

hell last year the government wanted to make a database of all web activity for each person for 2 years..... until they realized they dont have the capacity to do it.

this is what 13 years of a socialist government gets you...... there is a thin line between care and control of people..... and its been pasted.

uk government definition of freedom of speech: you can say it as long as we agree with it

>>God help those 17 year olds who posted some half naked pics on facebook......<<

in America the teen slut who sexts her hoohaa is just a slut, but any guy with her underage hoohaa on his phone is arrested for possession of child porn

its what comes of not giving them the belt early and often, I tells ya

as to the pic, with that upper deck she is clearly not 16

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.

Re: Should this Advert have been Banned?

the stupid thing about it is that the girl isnt underage, who isnt even close to underage, she would need to be 6 years younger to be underage; but because someone could think she looks like she might be underage, its banned? whats next? all pictures showing skin below the neck or above the knees must be with someone at least 40 years old?

Anything is possible these days.

We may possibly go back to how it was in the 40's 50's. Where all the females had those full stripey swimswuits, and have dresses to their ankles and whatnot. tongue

And they have to go back and stay in the kitchen. wink lol j/k

To think of the child in a sexual way.
