View attachment 287366 Source: bestrejectedadvertising.com Pic. 1 was an ad for a movie, I think. Pic 2 was for easy Jet and 3 & 4 were from Chanel 4 in the U.K. The ad guys made it look like a spoof on 6 Feet Under but if you look closely, it's an ad for....a funeral parlor. "Luxury to die for". Anyway, the censors say it was misleading. Enjoy!

^ the last two are so morbid it's fascinating thanks

this might be interesting to you guys..
www.subliminalsex.com
about how sex is primed in advertising..

for example, do you feel this ad is suggesting something to you?

could this be helping what you're thinking? (her lower back)

you can literally play 'spot the penis'...

also the CK ad from post#347..
either that guy has some very coincidentally shaped abs or something has been airbrushed in... or maybe i'm just freud's rebirth

here it is again below..
funny how many of the overtly sexual ads can be banned but yet advertisers can sneak these in..

^ that cigarette ad was given to us by our human sexuality professor ... needless to say, i don't think i'll look at ads with such innocence ever again

 

[rouge_red]

I had to look at it 10 minutes to understand what the fuss is about

*ahum*stillcan'tseeit*cough*

 

[spierce]

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

Me too, though I wouldn't mind seeing more such ads

 

[julesrules815]

^^I think it is the lighting on her back near the mans thumb

 

[ilaughead]

Those 'to die for' ads are truly tasteless! Why would that sell anything!

 

[Pinky*]

maybe its better if you don't see it
theres a detailed explanation from the site under 'subliminal advertising example'..
the phallus is supposedly exactly 6.5" in scale with the picture.. i don't know any woman's backbone who looks like that.. so it doesn't seem like a coincidence to me..

plus that book is more than 10 yrs old now so the airbrushing would be more advanced now..

(ok so i'm trying to say i'm not some obsessive perv)

kiki - i got that one from a psy text. i thought its kind of cute the profs are reading the same stuff.. B)

It's been awhile since I've been to this thread so I can't remember whether someone managed to post those controversial Abercrombie and Fitch ads, but I finally found them!

Follow the link for the rest... I realized posting them would just be like posting pictures of naked people. I don't even know if we could call them advertisements, as they're not even wearing clothes in half of the pictures!

[novella]

^ I completely agree with your last two statements.

ruslana rules - The Euro ad is hilarious! Thanks for sharing those ads.

 

[Trista]

Ah yes, Abercrombie: Models without clothes and clothes without models.

 

[@~PinkCouture~@]

Being in the ad business, things are rarely by coincidence.

 

[kissmesweet]

The last A&F one in the water is really beautiful.

 

[eternitygoddess]

I don't get the cigarettes ad...

 

[HeaTk]
