Probably not overly fat, but certainly well upholstered on the canvases from some of the old masters.

No complaints of horny lesbians cavorting in a bedroom or gay men snogging? I couldn't give a damn about someone's sexuality or how it's portrayed in the media. What pisses me off is the double standards.
Exactly. What gays do to each other in private is up to them but two men snogging on TV makes me feel ill. That's at least two of us that are offended but would they accept our argument? Of course not.

Two lesbians snogging is great though.

I remember the days when it would take at least 100 complaints to get an advert removed. One complaint should not get an ad removed because that one person could have a grudge against the company which would meaning their complaint is biased.

Those in authority are getting to scared to stand up for themselves because they are worried about bad PR being pushed via social media. People in today's society need to grow a backbone and stand up to the whiners/complainers.

Re: Advert too racy?

It's fine to advertise video games that sensationalise violence and killing 'en masse' which I believe explains some of the mass shootings that have taken place recently.

Yet the powers that be seem to think that seeing half naked bodies on some advert will have a far greater effect on society....

Re: Advert too racy?

There's another Ad that really annoys me. The one with Elton John when he eats a Snickers, turns into a black person and is instantly 'cool' as opposed to a boring old white geezer. I'm not a great fan of Elton these days, his songs just sound like a load of noises shoved together but no one can deny he has had a great career.

It wouldn't matter if a million people complained about that advert, they would never ban it.
