[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 49077, member: 153"] Re: Aren't we better than this? And...I think it's belittling to suggest that Women in the MODERN World need to be protected from what Men think or feel. Women are much stronger in many ways than Men. While some Women may take offense to the use of large breasted Women in advertisements with products that are over-whelmingly used by Men, I'm certain that more Women would also find such situations humorus, silly or of no concern. Breasts of all sizes have been around since humans first crawled around a cave. Why the outrage at this Ad ? Is it the Breasts themselves that offend, the use of a Woman in the Ad, or, the use of a Woman with large breasts in an Ad that's aimed at a market that some may consider a Higher Profession ? Apparently, some think that their chosen Profession is an ideal model for societal behavior.... rubbish, as they tend to work long grueling hours, in extreme heat or cold, with many unsavory promoters, musicians, and coworkers, in dark, dingy, rat-nests, providing high SPLs to drunk and/or drug using attendees, many of which wear clothing that's as skimpy as in the Ad. If of course, your only gig is in a house of worship... you can delete some of the above work conditions and possibly some of the attendee characteristics/habits, but, they've also been shown to pop up in such places on occasion too...while wanting your money pushed in a collection plate/basket. What I find really astonishing...is that some grown Men consider the photo to be so offensive...in a World where we're surrounded by truly offensive behaviors, and, Wars, starvation, disease, murder, child abuse, slavery, lack of medical attention....
