Ah, I remember German soap commercials and tanning bed ads and even billboards that would send the Moral Majority into fits of fire-and-brimstone in this country.

Hmmm, dunno, but I think one of those edges is a tad sharper than the other. Risk/reward ratio just isn't there.

This would have been great for me at age 6. Pretty close to the VS catalogs I had a collection of.

AGREED!!! We now know every gory detail about the Robin Williams suicide, but GOD FORBID someone see a nip slip on the SuperBowl HalfTime Show.

This is the same shyt that happens at those dumb gyms. A lady member was banned and told not to return to the gym because her body was "too good looking". She was banned because other members were complaining that she was "intimidating them" and they felt "offended"!

This being offend crap is really stupid!

Everyday on Yahoo! news i read about some sort of commercial/ billboard/ Magazine cover etc that is offensive to a certain people. Such BS! This is the reason why i have changed my life style.
I no longer care about what people think of me,
I no longer care if i offend any one,
I just grew some bigger balls and do wtf i want as long as i'm not physically hurting or abusing anyone.

And i've been very happy in life ever since

I am very offended by stupid people but somehow I'm not able to voice that view without being some kind of ass. Guess I'll just go on being offended for the remainder of my life.

And the goal of these "parents" is to make sure that YOU raise YOUR kids according to THEIR values, morals, and standards.

SO sick of this "But, OH, the CHILDREN!" bullshit.

Yes, they do. They're the ones, with their children in tow, GLARING at women sun bathing topless face-down on a towel whispering words like "bitch", "slut", and "whore" as they try to hurry as far away as possible or they're the ones that come right up to said woman/women and start right into a holier-than-though tirade concerning "appropriateness".

I have to say there is a flipside to this mate. I understand what you mean, but people take this behavior to the other side of the guardrail. They start being mean, arrogant and self-centered. Some people offend for the sake of offending, and those people are just pricks. Not picking on you, just saying what I've seen lately. Just look at Instagram. All this "no new friends" shit. I laugh at it.

lol yes true.
Nowadays, people see me and immediately draw the conclusion that im arrogant, cocky, self centered blah blah blah.... i just brush it off because even if i "tried" to be a nice, humble, down to earth guy.. people will still say negative things about me. So i just said fcuk it!

This reminds me of a time at Gamestop where a mother was asking about the M rating on whatever the new Call of Duty was at the time. For her 6 year old!
The clerk explained about the realistic graphics, blood, language and mentioned how "it can be pretty rough, especially for a child". The mother thought about it for a second and then asked "but there's no nudity in it, right?" The clerk said no, and she said "ok, I'll take it".

Am I watching the wrong European TV stations? I've been to the UK, Bulgaria, and several times to Italy and never seen any of the aforementioned commercials!

Sad that beautiful, fit women are vilified in our culture mainly by obese soccer moms and religious bigots.

I don't have children yet (thankfully), but when I do, I will have absolutely zero issue with my son/daughter seeing this. It's one thing if the camera zooms in on her fully exposed vagina and they slap that on the cover, but to display how beautiful the human body can be? Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It's time we start appreciating beauty rather than condemning those who speak of obesity...

These parents are probably the same ones who want a trophy given to every kid participating in a sport and no winner's ceremonies. WTF

I remember the January Jones and Kate Upton covers, obviously (and I don't even have a subscription.) Who thought that accepting a subscription to GQ was the same as a subscription to Parenting or Disney? Here's what happened - the husband checked the box that said, "Yes, I'd like a free subscription to GQ". Magazine comes in for a few months with whomever on the cover and wife is OK - Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds, One Direction But then a scantily woman appears on a cover, middle-aged housewife freaks out and the husband gets amnesia.
