I'm also shocked... is American online advertising going European?

Wow.

Sylvie said...

Whaaaa---- You guys were serious

Claire Grinton said...

I....didn't think that was legal? Er something like that?

What site were you on that you found this? reversecowgirlblog.blogspot.com? i know blogspot has a thing, a warning note for "adult content" but I know this one doesn't require it. Sure, its a racy blog, but wow.

I've seen nips in-store as well, but at least you're choosing to go into that store. Little different.

PS when did we decide boobs from any and all angles are fine so long as the nipple isn't showing? for real. they airbrush them out in lingerie catalogs. wtf?

Why so shocked? Nudity as natural and beautiful. And, not to mention, normal. Of course, using it to sell products is another story but still: is it really so horrific to show nude people in ads? After all, given the length of time humans have been on the planet, clothing is a pretty new concept. This ad is just getting back to, ahem...nature.

LOL @ "It's a dude"

Most of the 'famous' AA ads are in European magazines, I've noticed. Finally the States is allowing someone to be a little bit artistic and doing something provocative.

Chris R said...

there is a bulge. its a dude. in womens clothes.

its SHOCKING

Libby Issendorf said...

Chris...that is not a bro. Those are SKINTIGHT leggings, and a penis of any sort would be much more obvious. Your fictional "bulge" is a combination of vag mound, the seam of the leggings, and the tucked-in shirt under the leggings. AA models are always hipster girls like this, not always gorgeous. Also, that is a lady nip, not a bro nip. I apologize, but I am STANDING MY GROUND on this one. Ho, not bro.

Who cares about the nipple? That outfit is god-awful and hideous.

If your going to get offended over a human body because it's advertise like that may you not see any European advertisement Geeze people it's like you never seen a human body. Yes i know kids will see it but in my books as long their not doing it , I have no problem and I am a woman. They are thought the human form in art and science. Like in third grade you did not have a graphic dictionary that did not have and animated photo of a woman and a man body their. Like i said it's not like there having sex on the advertisment beside they should do guys to .

Americans get so hell bent. talk about a so called free country.

yes the female form clothed or nude is beautiful (as long as it belongs to a hot, young thing). I'm not offended by that at all, but what am I supposed to do with the wood in my pants? this is like being homeless and walking by a sidewalk cafe at lunch time.

How does the human body offend you? Can you please explain that? What a backwards culture you live in...

Don't get us wrong, the Yaybia ladies are no strangers to nudity. We were just surprised to see it pop out of nowhere. Offended? Nah.
