Provocative / Offensive Ads #1

[Spike413]

That YSL was only printed in European magazines, excluding the UK I believe...but don't quote me.

Definitely the most provocative add I've ever seen, and not because it's anything even outrageous,but for all of the female nudity out there, how many men have you seen in the buff when it comes to ads.

Honesstly, I find it quite beautiful and it's done very tastefully.

HAHA, I love the Opium ad. I remember I was in the seventh grade and Britney Spears was in Elle and I'm a huge fan so my teacher gave it to me and I remember when I came across that ad, I thought my mother was going to kill me for having the mag..lol..anyways..I love this thread..

maybe its because i'm a male, but looking at the YSL ad, im thinking "ok...its just a penis"

Surprisingly... that YSL ad doesn't turn me on or do anything for me...

It's interesting how 'offensive' and sexuality go hand-in-hand... Hmmm...

I was instantly thinking, "Yeah, don't anticipate seeing this in American print..."


I'm picturing a repressed working-class man throwing a garbage can through the window of a Barne's and Noble...

then a fleet of minivans driven by angry housewives encircling the mayor's office for allowing the magazine to make him do it through publishing the image...

fire up the mini, I'm off to soccer practice...

 

[TheDesignStudent]

this is my favourite provocative ad...sigh...

(Gucci ad campaign with groomed 'cough, cough' letter 'G')

Mine too, because somewhere in the recess of your mind, you know Tom Ford signed off on the art direction...

I can see him behind the desk, adjusting the Aviators... "I like it...you're hired, start shooting tomorrow"

I didn't get the "G-Spot" implication for awhile. I'm just slow..like that other ad with the arrow. I just kept looking at it for awhile, not knowing what it was pointing at...but I have to say. This thread amuses me so much! Most of the ads I see here are actually really sexy (like the Calvin Klein ones..^^) but only the PSP ad and basically all of the Sisley ads really offend me..and make me go UGH. Oh and the American Apparel ones as well. They really....ew. Just disgusting.

more ads please

That YSL should be printed everywhere. Its wicked hot. Who is he?
