Well,really! Why is it ok for the green man to flash and not the woman? What a mad society we are living in bah!

[Mozz71]

Britney?? :-)

[AuntPollyGrey]

'It may cause offence because children will be walking past' For goodness sake the most a child would do is say 'mummy why has that lady go no clothes on?'

I'm more offended by the grossly obese women that waddle along the high street in leggings.

As for the other two adverts, -I can imagine the 'women' that complained about those.......

Madness.

[ummmm]

I probably wouldn't even notice it.

[pastafreak]

You saw right Mozz...ag returned last night. :)

[AuntPollyGrey]

Bet you would if it was a fit young guy lol!

[pastafreak]

Oh...and the ad doesn't bother me. Maybe a male version would balance things a bit ;)

[Sqad]

APG......t thought it WAS a fit young guy....how can you tell the difference nowadays ?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Sqad I think you need glasses unless you are looking at a different Ad lol!

[agchristie]

Yes Mozzzzy its me! Ive been clinging to a raft for a year but I eventually got picked up - booooom! :-)

No hunk in sight on the link but there is a hulk as evidenced by the green man of course haaa!

[ummmm]

Wouldn't notice a fit bloke either. I'm not very observant :-)

Remember when there was uproar about the wonder bra ads? They were far sexier and got to stay.

[agchristie]

I bet not many people know that all horses have no balls in Gedling haaa!

[Mamyalynne]

As long as drivers keep their eyes on the road I can't foresee a problem.

[agchristie]

Quite Mamya! Can't have the angry ones going up the wall! :-)

[AuntPollyGrey]

Oh God here we go again..........

[Atheist]

Mamy's got a point. There may well be a Highways objection to a distracting poster close to a traffic light junction.

/// 'mummy why has that lady got no clothes on?' ///

a question only to be asked by people who shower while fully clad, I would have thought. I would have thought it was unrevealing and unerotic. Mamya has a point about it being next to a crossing, but that's surfely not within the remit of the Advertising Standards Authority.

And I'd say the same if it was an obese woman in leggings: no point in denouncing skin-shaming and then introducing fat-shaming.

Hi aggie! Nice to see you. :o)

[naomi24]

That council is pathetic.

For Mamya.......................
