*sigh* - This type of thing drives me to despair. Here we are in a modern European country, it's the 21st century, and this invitation for paddy bashing is still going on - can we not just move these guys about 200 miles west of Galway - permanently.

Anyone know what said poster looks like?

And is it Ballygowan regularly have posters of naked women on their posters, but the "man" on the posters is an emasculated mannequin? Not that I do or don't want to see pictures of naked men, but whats sauce for the goose .... (the naked male model is in magazine ad.s)

I've only seen the censored version myself. It's a cliche yet tasteful pose and I'd be surprised if you could see nipples in the uncensored version. What probably has them up in arms is that you can almost see between her legs - which is probably the whole point of the advertisement. To get you to spend ages looking at it to decide you can't see anything. No such thing as bad publicity.....

You can see one nipple in the uncensored version, I seen it in one of the papers. ( The Star I think )

Id imagine that mayor is the Advertising Agencies favorite person about now.

The amount of free press coverage that YSL have gained in ireland becuase of this is great

i much prefer the Dior Addict ad. anyway (even if she is 'wearing' a bikini). .me think about raid the pharmacies wheelie bin the day it comes down . (hmmm ... raiding ... pharmacy - didn't mean it that way

)

Again, it's the advertising agency who rings in these complaints, to get the ad more attention. It never fails.

How backward are we?
