I'd have to agree that people are going overboard with sexual paranoia these days. The ad, however, wasn't impressive as far as advertising is concerned. I really hate the "let's throw something sexy up there just to get attention" ads. |

I looked at the advert, and I agree it's in bad taste. Obviously the model is an adult woman, but she's posing as a schoolgirl - a child. I feel uncomfortable with 'child' going hand in hand with 'would you like to f**k me?.' Society should do its utmost to protect children. I think the ad is very irresponsible - it's sexualising children. It helps suggest that schoolgirls are fairgame, which in a modern society they should not be. Depictions of sexed up children for adult consumption - ugh.

| I pretty much agree with B_B. I'm uncomfortable with the commerialization of sex, especially when it involves children. |
