Offensive or not?

Personally I cannot see anything offensive about these posters, at least they are tame in comparison to some of the images show on TV, both in commercials and pre-watershed programmes.

But this is from a males point of view, do you ladies find them denigrating towards women in any way?

eyethenkyew. We all go to the loo and lots of people pick their noses but in private. Everybody does it is a bit of a cop out. It doesn't offend me but it is vulgar.

Forgot to put .....and not appropriate for a shopping centre.

"vulgar" ? So what? A programme called "Aerobics Oz Style" which features a group of very attractive scantily dressed young women gyrating around on a beach has just been on Sky - that's no less "vulgar" but if it was on when you were in a shopping arcade, for example, and Comet / Currys etc was showing it on their banks of tellies, it wouldn't be turned off for being "vulgar", would it?

It's all in the mind, folks. You have to be thinking something "dirty" in the first place!

I'm sure in our uber PC country if the image had been of a man lifting a mans shirt rather than a womans skirt there wouldn't have been such uproar

She's wearing knickers ain't she so what's the problem?

I'd love the guys posting here to try to see this ad campaign from the point of view of women-they MIGHT look at it differently then.
I suspect the photos in the DM are those deemed 'safest' to publish-and others may be more controversial.

It's true that 'sex sells' but I think most people in advertising see that idea as being a bit more subtle than some woman passionately throwing her legs into the air 'cause some guy is looking up her skirt.

I agree the images are kind of distasteful. Except for the first one, that one's pretty average.

No, there really would have been... Remember that Heinz advert?

The only thing I find offensive is those clothes.

In the middle picture, those jacket sleeves are waaay too short.

And the check suit in the third picture ... oh, purleeeeez !
