Web giant Google has banned ads from US lingerie retailer Pampered Passions after deeming them too sexy for the UK & European market.
The offending ads were part of Pampered Passions campaign inviting men to buy sexy lingerie for their girlfriends this Xmas. The suggestive tone and the mild nudity in the images, though, proved too much for Google who refused to allow the ads to be shown on their network.
According to a Google representative, The ad has been disapproved for adult content. Only family safe images will be approved. Images which are classified as non-family safe or adult content are disapproved and will not run. Your image contains nudity and mature themes.
A spokesperson for Pampered Passions said, Googles refusal to show ads that are completely acceptable to UK audiences on their network is turning out to be an increasingly frequent occurrence. Google are an American company and while they might seem to be really cool and liberal in the USA, their policies do seem rather conservative for European consumers.
An outright ban on ads no ruder than a Christmas cracker joke & featuring less flesh than a swimwear catalogue seems pretty uncool to us they added.
Eurotrash offended by nudity, get out of here.
> Hey, I wonder how some of this stuff would look on ME?
AARRGGGH! MY EYES!
Lacy things, the wife is missin’
Didn’t ask, her permission
I’m wearin’ her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear
In the store, there’s a teddy
Little straps, like spaghetti
It holds me so tight
Like handcuffs at night
Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear
In the office there’s a guy named Melvin,
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He’ll say, “Are you ready?” I’ll say, “Whoa Man!”
“Let’s wait until our wives are out of town!”
Later on, if you wanna
We can dress, like Madonna
Put on some eyeshade
And join the parade
Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear
Lacy things- missin’
Didn’t ask- permission
Wearin’ her clothes
Silk pantyhose
Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear
Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear
Walkin’ ‘round in women’s underwear
They have an outstanding line of protective eyewear.
...they’re just “taking everything” to the ‘lowest common denominator’, to avoid offending Islamofacists in the EU.
What a setup you were handed!!
That’s a fantasy alright. Anorexia Ann could not fill one of those bra cups with both breasts.
Thanks ever so much for that visual image. Now I need to go throw some bleach in my eyes to remove it.
Ann's got her plus points, but womanly shapeliness ain't one of 'em.
Whoa. Now that'll be stuck in my head all day.
I guess it could be worse... it -is- pretty funny!
Rush made that funny song famous when there was a story about some gay Dem in congress.
Agreed.
I think it was about Marv Albert the sports caster.
All you need is Photoshop. Go for it!
“”Uh, you can see a lot more flesh on most daily European newspapers. This makes no sense. Plus it’s hardly provacative.””
Is right. Page Three (naked breasts) is an institution in one of Britain’s most popular daily newspapers.
That's fine. Little ones are cute. I'll take her out without makeup, just a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. It's what women would like to do.
I agree, BTW. Small-breasted women rock! (That includes most of the women I've dated, and the one I married.) I was commenting on Ann's lack of general curvature overall, not knocking her upper story, which on a more shapely woman would be quite attractive.
Who are you guys talking about?
Damn. I can’t wait to see what she looks like after a few kids and when her metabolism changes. It’s just not fair. I hate her, I really do.
