It looks like they fcuked up.

I am literally rioting and firebombing churches over this insane catastrophe.

so what they're tits get over it, if you shop in fcuk I'm pretty sure there's like an 80% chance you have a pair of your own

Offended? Fuck off, really.

The human body is now offensive. Well, shit.

I'm more offended that they stole the design of the revenant from Doom and turned it into a woman.

i wouldnt call that offensive in the first place but she doesnt even have tits so its even less offensive

Think of the children

I came in there thinking FCUK was a play on "FUCK" and they were another activist group like FEMEN.

Naked people, so offensive. My heart hurts, I may need to sue for damages, won't somebody think of the children.

[QUOTE=The golden;42012463]You know you've fucked up somewhere when the human body itself is "offensive".[/QUOTE] Well it's a problem with a lot of cultures. For thousands of years we have been prude and afraid of those parts of the human body.

Why do people cry foul at advertising like this when in the streets of the very same city they're in they probably have seen or walked by some nude street performer who is either painted or dressed at the bare minimum. Makes it seem they're only targeting the advert since they know they'll spin controversy or have a chance at some form of entitlement.

IIRC it's actually legal to be topless in a shop but only if it's a tropical fish shop

Unnecessary? Perhaps. Offensive? Fuck off is it.

Controversy = free publicity, and the british public do love to moan over fucking nothing.

Advert success: Achieved

We live in a world where people freak out at the sight of the human body.

[QUOTE=glennman94;42012974]We live in a world where people freak out at the sight of the human body.[/QUOTE] Except we don't. It seems like everybody here stateside is half naked. It seems like people want to show as much skin as possible, but suddenly it becomes offensive the minute some nipples are shown. We cannot have it both ways people.

Y'know, I do agree that the street isn't really the place for nude pictures.

im a lot more concerned by how dangerously thin the model is? maybe its the angle but she looks a bit ridiculous

Weird how the UK has stuff like Embarrassing Bodies on TV and nobody cares but as soon as people see some titties in an ad they freak out.

...Coming from the DAILY MAIL? The DAILY FUCKING MAIL???

[QUOTE=Scot;42013287]Weird how the UK has stuff like Embarrassing Bodies on TV and nobody cares but as soon as people see some titties in an ad they freak out.[/QUOTE] I believe EB airs post-watershed, so the target audience aren't likely to have kids around watching it or anything like that. Whereas this is on display for everyone to see. Still kinda silly to get worked up over boobs, and I do agree the models look dangerously thin, it just looks awful.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;42013181]im a lot more concerned by how dangerously thin the model is? maybe its the angle but she looks a bit ridiculous[/QUOTE] From what I have heard it's a big problem in the fashion industry.
