From the home of the bizarre comes this beauty: A raunchy Lee jeans "Lolita-style" advertisement portraying a young woman in a sexually explicit pose has been ruled inoffensive. The Advertising Standards Board yesterday dismissed complaints about the advertisement – seen on billboards and in magazines – saying while it had sexual overtones, it was not inappropriate. The advertisement is displayed on a billboard at South Yarra railway station.Comments by readers:
I'm offended by this ad. Why not advertise the quality of the product rather than use a woman to promote its sex appeal with such an obvious pose. [Posted by: Stephanie M of Kew 1:12am today]
Of course it's not offensive. What's wrong with a attractive lady promoting a product. I've seen far more offensive ads than that. [Posted by: Jason of Epping 1:05am today]
I know that drab station and such an ad would surely liven it up. [Posted by James of Russia 1:54 am today]
UNless it was spelt out, I wouldn't hvae a clue what she was advertising.UNless it's porn that I think it is inapproriate given the porn like quality in mainstream marketing accessible to minors.
