Personally it doesn’t bother me that much. I fear what my children would say? Yes but I know I could explain it to them what is it about. Environment can affect the way your children decides and thinks but when you have raised your children well, given them what’s best and communicated with them very well you wouldn’t worry about anything.

It saddens me. I wouldn’t want to be a mom walking down a NYC street with my daughter and come upon this ad. At least if my child is a teen we can discuss what the advertiser is trying to accomplish and whether or not people that engage in that kind of sexual activity are really making their lives better or not, and so forth. But the images that are planted on a younger child, boy or girl, will slant their view going forward of what sex is all about. And these are not images I would want my child to have.

I lived in Europe and have worked with European brands. I agree they (historically )have had more “risque” advertising. The U.S. is catching up now. I don’t have a problem with nudity. I didn’t when I lived there and don’t now. The difference between America and Europe is that Europeans embrace women of all ages. And, they don’t have a problem with showing “mature” women in scantily clad, provocative ads. If they show a semi-nude or scantily clad woman lolling around with three men, it most likely will be an adult woman. In America, the only “woman” we will show scantily clad is a young girl. We are youth obsessed. Europeans enjoy women as they age. Different story. I don’t take issue with a grown woman in a sexually explicit scenario – a young girl making out with three guys…not so much.
