Nah, I think that message is mint Joesbie, not too strong at all. I'm gonna have a teenage son one day and I want him to respect women, and I worry that images like that, even if they're just to sell a product, are gonna give him the wrong impression.
They've made a bad move really, if their products are of a decent quality then they dont need to use scantily clad women to sell them. I dunno I ust think it makes em look a bit trashy.
Yep, its proven that sex sells but I'd hoped we were at a stage where we'd moved on from that overt idiocy *ho hum*
If (big if) I ever get a response I will defo post it. Like Debbie says - it'll be some bullshit fob off if they bother at all. They can think I'm k.d. lang for all I care.
It does make it look trashy, but the old saying for rock is "sex and drugs and rock and roll". They'd get prosecuted using drugs to sell their products

Agreed. We know its bull, we know its unnecessary, but we know they're gonna do it anyway. Just wanted to say something cos if nobody does it slips under the door again and again.
I know porn maketh not a rapist and that wasn't what I was trying to say. I like porn and I'm not a rapist, or an abuser etc etc and nor are most of the men I know who also like porn.
They can think what they like about me - I could send em a picture of my black pvc outfit, all corsetted up and appearing like some Goddess of all things Goth but they'd probably call me a hypocrite cos they don't get that everything has a place and a time. If I'm shopping for sex I go looking, if I'm shopping for guitars, music software or Quorn burgers I don't expect to have tits (or the manly equivalent) shoved in my face. Maybe that just makes me female but then I have a debit card too and I buy stuff with it!
I know what you mean, it's not like you're going to meet with them socially, so you don't have anything to prove. But you're right, I like porn too, but time and place and all that.
I think half of the tits-in-your-face problem, when I come to think of it, is that soft porn is no longer considered porn because of all the Jordan wanna-be's showing it all off when they go out, day or night far too often. I have nothing against girls going out showing a bit of flesh (even if they have rather more flesh than absolutely required) but barely covering your nipples and any arse crack on show (never mind the acres of it you usually get) is just out of order, and allows marketers to feel they have the right to plaster it everywhere.
