When they use AIDS to sell fashion
So, it is not so fashionable. This so called fashionable chic is announcing all the winnable models that “We’re all potential carriers.” Well, we don’t have a problem with Kenneth Cole, if they are uncovering the beauty of models bodily geographies. But, this seemingly different and harmless statement is in a way insulting to the AIDS patients and awareness campaigns. By saying such a statement, they are downplaying the gravity of the disease and the importance of the advertising efforts surrounding it.
Raped in fashion
This intentionally helpless chick is being overpowered by a gang of men in a fashionable way. This Dolce & Gabanna ad raised many eyebrows as it showed violence against woman.
The problem here is not nudity, but the glorification of violence and rape for the sake of commercial gain.
Another example
Another ‘rape-friendly’ example for disgusting advertising from Italy’s Relish brand for their S/S 09 ad campaign.
F….ingly headless
German awareness campaign against AIDS has this headless representation of wild sex. The copy reads- It’s easy to lose your head when you’re horny. So, next time when you become horny, it is better to have a pause, and think about this ad. What will you do? Bang! Nothing more.
This will happen, if condoms are flavored
Popout
Distastefully creative commercial for flavored condoms. Lips attract the truth…
Leading a dog’s lifestyle
I checked the news archives. I have not found anything related to PETA with this advertising effort for Deutsch Magazine. PETA should legally revenge the advertisers for forcing this young, brave dog to suffer something fishy.
The lifestyle magazine is claiming that it shows a new lifestyle.
When TV sponsors the childhood
Popout
This little girl in this commercial is dancing like a shameless, hot pole dancer for a few moments. The eyes, movements and body language reflect some kind of frighteningly odd sensuous invitation that is not expected from a little girl. This ad, as part of Don’t Let Your Child Be Educated by TV social campaign (Romania), tries to convey a good message. But, the ‘sexification’ of a child, for whatever means, is condemnable.
Peta insults angels
PETA and this Playboy cover girl have created a big controversy by their stupid pornographic bravado.
Look at this ad. Two innocent souls are staring at you. (well, if you have only noticed one, change your negative attitude). This is Joanna Krupa, the playboy beauty who has been eliminated from dancing with the stars.
PETA features her as an angel, with a digital halo wings and a rosary in her right hand. The problem is that we won’t want any topless angels to come during our prayers.
Mixing beer and bum means ban
Tackling a large-bottomed woman may require will power and persistence from the part of a man. But does it mean that you need Dutch courage to approach a woman? This ad for ‘Courage’ beer shows a nervous-looking man staring helplessly at a large-bottomed woman. TAKE COURAGE MY FRIEND- The ad urges the man with an insulting tone.
Anyway, the advertising standards authority banned the ad as it implied beer could give the man confidence either to make negative comments about the woman, or to take advantage of her.
Burger king’s symbolic blow job
We do not expect symbolic presentation of blow job from Burger King, which is supposedly a brand mainly associated with families. But, it often courts controversy and breaks the line. Look what they have done here. A mouthful of obscenity.
When stuffed animals become naughty
This poster for the movie ‘’Rules of Attraction’’ was banned in America. The poster features stuffed animals in…well, compromising positions.
Tanner Krolle bags a ban
This print advertisement for promoting designer handbags which was appeared in Vogue magazine was banned by ASA. The ad shows a couple doing some hanky-panky in a bathroom while another nearly-nude lady pictures this adventure in a camera.
