i thought the Beneton adverts were tasteless, but I can see thet are not aimed at me, or probably my generation.
The FCUK ads I do find offensive, and the slimy red-braced idiot who dreamed it up and smugged around saying it was 'people's minds if they thought it was rude ...' was simply insulting the general public's inteligence. He knew it would cause controversey, that's why he did it. i have no problem with his motive, but I do take issue with his smug holier-than-thou denial of his motive.
I find a lot of visual advertising offensive these days, but again, I am not the generation the advertisers are targeting, but that doesn;t mean I don't see their ads.

I remember the 'brand' very well and the shock/outrage when they were launched (particularly the newborn baby and the man with AIDs on his deathbed)
But in all honesty I can't say I have shopped at either in store in the last 16 years.

But I remember the brands and the name, and I remember most of the pictures in that link. I suppose it worked, but it didn't compel to buy,
