Raunchy or Wrong?
Featuring Australia's very own, Gemma Ward, these recent magazine ads for Dolce and Gabbana apparently caused controversy, only in Britain, for their supposed glorification of violence. Here's what went down-
"The Advertising Standards Authority said the company acted irresponsibly and breached standards of good taste in publishing the ads, which showed male models waving knives while surrounded by glamorous women models, in poses inspired by the paintings of French romantic artist Eugene Delacroix. One man was shown lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head. The independent authority, which regulates the industry, issued the report after 166 people complained that two ads, which appeared in The Times and Daily Telegraph last October, glorified knife and gun crime."
How ridiculous. What are they worried about? Do they think kids are going to dress up in 16th century outfits, purchase antique guns and terrorize neighbourhoods? But then I guess you never know what could happen- I went to see Marie Antoinette and for days after all I wanted to do was laze around and feed cake to the poor!
Shhheesh, idiots! Some people shouldn't be allowed to read magazines.
