Provocative / Offensive Ads #1

I don't see a problem in the MAC advertisement. There are always some sort of collections specialized in making customers look like this and that... like party collection/smoky eyes, spring collection/nymphs, holiday collection/santa sl*t...etc. Barbie is just one of the images women are likely to emulate, just like Audrey Hepburn or Rachel from Friends years ago. I can see why people find controversy in that ad, because M.A.C. is objectifying women. But advertising is supposed to objectify people, so customers can easily follow the ideas projected by just buying the products. (I have to say, initially I thought that, in that logic Armani Cosmetics Python and Crystal collection ads should be banned too because the ads persuade people to look like snakes and crystal. :lol:)

That "blow in her face" ad is really stupid. Were the advertisers that stupid to think the line would work?

^Isabeli:ninja: That's a pretty provocative ad... reminds me of a very similar lingerie commercial couple years ago. The woman in commercial was on a mechanical bull and doing those moves as if she was having sex as well...
 
i think this commercial is particurarly sexy and in a way provocative, because she acts movements like if she is doing sex................
passionata lingerie by david lachapelle
model: isabeli

yes that movement is a bit provocative, but nothing that special.
that commercial is beautiful.
 
The blow in her face ad looks like it's from the 80s or possible late 70s so given that, I don't find it offensive, however I do think it's incredibly stupid.

God Ana is so so gorgeous, I never realized how gorgeous she really is.
What's wrong with the very first ad??? I guess the rest are supposed to be sexual but they look corny to me
 
I think the Tom Ford photos are tasteless. I just imagine his hideous smirk when I see the major tan lines around those guys' crotches.

I always liked the more provocative Dolce & Gabbana adverts because they were so mechanically posed and so obviously posed instead of trying to be subtle.
I love how the advertisements with the men overpowering the women are complained about and then the advertisements with the women leaning over naked men with whips are ignored.

i've seen much worst from sisley. but the one photo with ana's legs open, welcoming the bull, is kinda odd. it's a bit much.
 
OMG the second one is soooooo hot!!! haha not offensive at all!! but REALLY provocative
 
Those are funny I like how they are sexy but really funny and the models know it
 
I'd like to personally thank MyNameIs for re-opening the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender thread.
