Britain bans latest American Apparel boobvertising

Not acceptable
The advertising police in the UK have banned this American Apparel print ad which appeared in Vice magazine recently.
The UK ASA deemed the ad “offensive and irresponsible” as the girl in the ad appeared to be under the age of 16. American Apparel on the other hand claim that she is in fact 23 and is meant to represent an average young woman ‘relaxed and comfortable’ lounging around at home reading War and Peace for the third time.
It’s either that or she’s getting ready to rob a convenience store of beer and cigarettes. There’s no way she’s 16 – there would be a cellphone firmly clasped in her hand if she were.

Sorry to be Ms Frigid, but she looks way younger than 23 and personally, looking at the ad makes me feel slightly repulsed.
