Provocative / Offensive Ads #1

[ediewarhol]

Honestly, as much as I love the US, too many people here are too ridiculous for words. If that Absolut add should be boycotted than so should American history classes.

Honestly! Oy. Some Americans really just can't handle the truth I suppose? It's quite silly.

The Absolut map is brillo! I will still always prefer Grey Goose, but Absolut just took a little piece of my history major heart.

 

[aaron95]

I dont see the offensive of the abslut Ad its just funny hahah

 

[ms-nietzsche]

I don't really see how it's funny or offensive, except at a superficial level

 

[aaron95]

Well its not funny that you see it and you laugh but like normal I dunno

 

[mikel]

I think that Absolut ad is quite funny.

 

[yogini108]

i agree, its hysterical!

 

[iluvjeisa]

ummm....I don't mind the Absolut ad, but I can see how it might be considered offensive.

Yeah, it's historical, but, yes, some parts of the US are filled with illegal aliens. Of course, it's only the hicks and low-class citizens who compete with the illegals for jobs who might be concerned. But, oh, I'm OT here, so fini.

Um, hicks and "low-class citizens". Oooook. And no, other people can be concerned as well for a variety of reasons!

 

[American Aries]

What exactly is a "low-class" citizen?

Hicks? Low class citizens? Since you made the comment, I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me what you mean by that. If by "low class" you mean poor and by hick you mean country people, then you're most definietly ignorant. BTW, the illegal aliens are hurting our economy in America, so everyone should be concerned not just those low class hicks.

let's try to get on topic here and steer away from political discussion...

please take the conversation to PM if you wish to continue...

Okay, will do ^^

So I was browsing through bwgreyscale.com and I found a few ads I thought might be consider provocative or offensive:

Dolce and Gabbana:

FCUK (this might be considered offensive due to the wording

Gucci:

bwgreyscale.com

 

[knightley]

Oh, those D&G ones are the most, though. Very sensual.

 

[SirSunday]

the dolce & gabbana ads are stunning...provocative yes - but i don't find them offensive. the fcuk ad, i actually don't get...... and the gucci ad is gorgeous as well, and not offensive to me in spite of the overt sexual tone.

 

[katherine]

Haha, the Fcuk one is funny. From what I get it, it's saying: Wearing our clothes would make you Fcukable, guaranteed. LOL.

 

[SirSunday]

^thanks for the insight. i'm a little slow tonight...

 

[Petit Lucille]

There is no excuse for an ad like this:

i just saw this post (108 veery old).. i'm speachless, i can't believe it. i have to get my jaw back from the floor... how could anyone think/approve/print/publish/or buy this???????????

 

[MissMixey]

I think a lot of them are very provocative but mostly the Sony PSP White ad and the Gucci G shaved in.

 

[aaron95]

I still dont get the FCUK one!!
