[HOLY S**T!] British Advertsing Group Cracks Down on Gender Stereotypes in Ads

[BostonGuy]

I came across this excerpt from the NY Times this morning while reading my morning paper:

One ad for baby formula showed a little girl growing up to be a ballerina and a little boy becoming a mathematician. Another ad, for a weigh-loss drink, asked if viewers were “beach body ready” and showed a bikini-wearing woman whose bronzed image, critics said, promoted an unrealistic standard of beauty. A third ad, for the video game “Game of War,” showed actress Kate Upton scantily dressed on a horse, making it seem as if sexual desirability were a prerequisite for leadership. Britain’s adverting regulator, reacting these ads and similar ones, announced Tuesday that new rules would be developed to ban advertising that promotes gender stereotypes or denigrates people who do not conform to theme; sexually objectifies women; or promotes unhealthy body images. - NEW YORK TIMES

Where is society going with all this PC and social justice madness? What world are we living in where government can restrict such images in ad campaigns?

Here is the Kate Upton ad:



Basically, ads in Britain cannot show sexy and beautiful women (looking sexy and beautiful) like Kate Upton in this ad. It's astonishing to me how society is 'regressing.' Unbelievable

Soon it will be illegal to fart on public transport incase you offend someone with a strong sense of smell

Promoting "unhealthy" body image.

Say goodbye to fit models who eat clean and exercise as the ideal female image.

The powers that be will promote fat Heavyweight soccer moms who eat McDonald's three times a day as the "healthy" image women should strive for and what men should get boners for.

F*** Sadiq Khan and all government departments

Why anyone would vote for someone with a name like Sadiq is beyond me.

[BrometheusBob.]

To be fair, I am tired of advertisers trying to appeal to my dick when selling me video games.

Kate Upton does look great doe

[Beercules]

Oh my...
