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?

I don't see why these images need to be used to advertise a MAN's suit.... the one I find particularly unnecessary and borderline offensive is the one where he's looking up her dress. Why?

I can understand the outcry, on this occasion, and in view of the whereabouts of the ads' positioning.

I'm with docspock, where I like the posters and they would be ok in an adult only setting. It's not acceptable for kids seeing half naked or suggestive posters, especially the one where the man is pulling up the womans skirt for the simple fact that kids do and learn what they see and I don't like the fact that "little johnny' sees this and then thinks it's ok to pull up girls skirts at nursery or school.

Agree with Doc and Salla

From a male POV can I just ask...

Who in their right mind would wear that check suit - it looks like golf pants with a matching jacket.

And who thought the grey jacket actually fitted that model?

A crime against sartorial standards i would say.

Yes, I would be embarrassed for my 9y g-d'ter.

[MickyMacgraw]

Agreed zeuhl, It looks like it's escaped from the 70's and the only thing missing is a turtleneck sweater to replace the shirt.
Any reason i wasn't agreed with den53 :(

in my opinion the poster looks crass and inappropriate

[jake-the-peg]

Did you actually scroll down and see the bottom image AOG?

Or did you just look at the top one?

Do you really think that bottom one is acceptable for a public shopping centre

[mccfluff]

i found the male model offensive in the second one, the suit jacket is awful as is his hair. i agree on the third one, that's not right

Well...........except for the skirt lifting which I felt was very nicely done, the other picures were quite normal and totally acceptable.

We see sex on TV, kids now watch it on their PC´s, Tampax adverts are on the TV and just go down the underground in London and see quite explicit posters.

No...........nothing to get excited about in my opinion.

[Bbbananas]

But it's unnecessary.... if this were an ad in a man's mag then I wouldn't be particularly offended - at least she had a bl00dy dress on, which is unusual in itself for a man's mag. But.... not in a shopping centre, not the peeking under her dress one.

[Zeuhl]

Yes the images are like the clothes; naff, unpleasant and inappropriate

[sandyRoe]

The looking up the dress one, do you think he might be looking for his sense of good taste? That suit's dire.

[Sqad]

salla......kids are "peeking" up girls dresses at 6 years old.

I was at Westfield this week and didn't even notice them. However I do find the third image to be tacky.
