Danish delight


Denmark may be one of the most liberal-minded countries on the planet, but the trees don't grow into the sky, as we Danes like to say (meaning there are limits to anything). The Danish lobbying groups Danish Women's Association and Porn Free Environment are upset about ads made by underwear producer JBS. (Article in Danish.)

Apparently they think the ads are pure porn, damaging to children, and degrading to women.

And apparently there's a Danish law saying that you can't advertise with scantily clad women unless they fit in the context.

I say, get over yourselves. If a women's underwear company were to put hot men in women's underwear in ads, nobody would give a flying fork, except to find it good fun.

One wonders if the women who find nudes to be "degrading to women" are not simply deeply insecure, and trying to cut down the competition. You'll notice they never talk about if nudes are degrading to men.

Thanks for this nice post, after a rainy cold Sunday.

"Noodle image"?

I was just trying not to say "give a flying fuck" in mixed company. :)

"Noodle image"?

Yes, a nooooooooooooodle image.

;------:)

Not totally nude, though. Needn't be, anyway. The picture is excellent.

Thanks, again, for sharing one more fine experience.

They seldom talk about if ads are degrading to men, and they seldom complain about the portrayal of unattractive women in any context. The small, frivolous, defenseless look (which adult male heterosexuals are biologically programmed to find appealing, when presented properly) of a young attractive woman seems to lend credence to the PC sides belief that she needs protection.
