"Tv, T & A"

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 !

Heh.

Are you referring to countdown or being slightly pi**ed about naked women ? :)

I do see your point, but its not as if you can see any nipple or gash shots. It also not as if they are showing sex in the advert. Put it this way you would probably see the same amount of flesh on a beach on a hot summers day.

What are you, gay?
