America Apparel Ads Banned By Watchdog

The advertising watchdog has banned a series of advertisements by clothing chain American Apparel after ruling that they used "exploitative" images of women likely to cause "serious and widespread offence".

Eight ads on the fashion retailer's website and in a free magazine published in October showed women modelling knickers, socks and sweaters in various poses that exposed their breasts or buttocks.
Following a complaint that the images were "pornographic" and "exploitative", the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) ruled that all but one advert must not appear again.
The watchdog said the nature of the women's poses meant their breasts and buttocks were the focal points rather than the products.

Inspite of the massive promiscuity in the US they still have such a watchdog to check the perversion. Do we have such a watchdog in Nigeria.Even if there is the Nigerian equivalent not altogether asleep and toothless? What with the degrading South African"Big brother Africa" program airing in Nigeria fro some years now and the content getting worst than ever before according to available reports.Which watchdog will protect the youth of this nation from such moral pollution that is readily available.South Africa has one of the highest cases of rape worldwide.not surprising with the kind of programmes aired on their networks.Do we have to wait until our society is overtaken by such vice?
The Nigerian Films censors Board are you still in existence?
Our youths are assaulted daily by suggestive programs on stations like Wazobia,Cool FM and many other obscure stations operating in the country without check.Check out the violence aired on local TV stations not to talk of immorality and the promotion of licentious living. Staff and Presenters in local Radio and TV stations, I appeal to your conscience,you can become instruments of positive change for our society. you cannot afford to fail your conscience because you want to generate revenue. Dont you see the spill over of your progranmmes on the streets filled with youths dressed half naked,exposing breasts and buttocks in public without any sense of shame? Because of what you encourage in your programmes, talk-shows, phone-in shows and music.You can help change all these with the same programmes too.
Our society today is under siege by suggestively clad perverts all over the place.Even in the offices and banks people are assaulted daily with exposed breasts and buttocks by people who are supposed to be enlightened!This ought not to be.Did i hear you say they have even infiltrated some places of worship? Nigeria has the ability to change.The good example from the American Watchdog should serve as an eye opener to all.The system over there works.Yes we can too!
