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, “Google’s 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.
Hate away, but don’t hold your breath. Most of my sister-in-laws, even the ones who are not as thin as Ann, still look trim & slim and gorgeous after several kids and years. Some women just have it and take care of it.
> Who are you guys talking about?
At the risk of hijacking the thread, Ann Coulter. Search on her name for threads, there are always pics. Skinniest woman alive.

Okay, may as well hijack the thread...
Here's the real Ann Coulter (on the right), photographed with FReeper eeevil conservative on the left (thanks eeevil!):
Here's NOT the real Ann Coulter -- we're talking photoshop here. You can tell at a glance it's not Ann, because Ann never wears orange:
IOW, skinny/slim/"I have a waist" is awesome. Ann has the figure of a pre-pubescent boy
BTW I think "heroine sheik" is generally spelled "heroin chic", but I like your pun just as well!
;-)
Yep.
BTW, here's the pic I put up that got blocked above in #43:
Ann Coulter on the cover of Playboy.
We only -wish-... ;-)
You ain't ever seen my neighbor. 6' even and weighs about 95 lbs. I wish I had a pic of her to post here.
Wonder if google has tried to help their kid with a book report on Beavers lately ?
Ann’s body type is not going to change. My old Mom has the same body type and it never changed in 82 years. Even after downloading me. Just go with nice women as they are. Normal ones are cuter.
