Earlier this afternoon i was watching Countdown when the adverts came on, you know normal crap people want you to buy and i was ignoring them until one about some shower product came on and the reason i noticed was the very attractive woman who was completely @rse naked in said ad.
At what point did it become acceeptable to show as much flesh as possible at 3pm in the afternoon, i dont consider myself puritanical or a prude but it's a bit ridiculous, i know sex sells but on this occassion i can't tell you anything about the product at all so maybe they've missed the point.
I can see why they would argue for a naked woman with it being a shower product but i'm reminded of an ad for Special K i think which also had a very attractive women prancing around topless, now how is that relevant to the product, i dont know, i'm all for naked women but not at that time of the day when children would be watching, i just think something isn't quite right about this.
Opinions please.
EDIT I forgot to add, i actually got the feckin' conumdrum for once when no-one else did, yay me !

Can someone explain to me just when nudity became such a damaging and worrysome thing? What, did they find out that children turn into crack-addicted grannyrapers the very instant they get a glimpse of bare flesh?

Who do you think the target audience is for this product? Women. So it figures that a woman might associate the sight of an attractive woman in an advert about cereal with the fact that if they ate this cereal they'd become more like this woman. By having a lovely piece of totty onscreen it also makes the chances of the man, who owns the TV and is lord of his household (joke), turning the ad over, in a bid to find some breasts on another channel. If he does change channels the ad will not be reaching its target audience- women.

Meh not too bothered, bit of flesh won't do the kiddies any harm, listening to what's his name of countdown's horrible jokes will do far more mental damage

Do you go swimming or to the beach or on holiday somewhere hot? You can see the same amount of flesh at any of these places. Or maybe you should just write to the ITC.
