The Brits are Concerned with Nearly Naked Women But with Muslims Nah
American clothing giant American Apparel has for years been running ads which are purposely provocative. Consider the ad above which seems to be using one of their employees, obviously not a model, although she does have a great pair of gams.
The ad has been removed from American Apparel's website on the orders of (1) Britain's ASA (Advertising Standards Authority), an independent regulator of advertising, whose mission is to prevent children from seeing God's greatest creation: the human body.
Here's the text for the ad:
Meet Trudy. Trudy is a St. Louis native who has been travelling for the company since 2009 as a store consultant. Her hobbies include vintage buying as well as singing and dancing to 90's R&B. She is photographed here wearing the Unisex Oversized Fisherman Turtleneck Sweater.
The ASA took this action based on a measly one or two complaints. I'm not surprised that the Brits have become oversensitive. As the UK becomes more and more Islamic, they will soon be offended if women are not completely burqanized.
Yes, the ad is very sexy, but is it any more revealing than a Victoria's Secret catalog that I get in my mail? What century are the Brits living in, the 7th? Don't like the ad? Don't go to the website.
The UK is being flooded with people who will not integrate, who will not assimilate, who hate British culture, who refuse to learn English, and who, even though they were born and bred in the UK, still wanted to kill as many infidels as they could on 7 July 2005.
And instead of protecting the public from these Muslim demons, the Brits instead decided it's more important to protect the public from an image that theoretically might offend someone in the UK.

Huffingyon Post, American Apparel, ASA On The Outs Again With New Banned Ads (PHOTOS)
American Apparel and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have a rather thorny relationship, one based on pushing boundaries and subsequently getting punished for pushing those boundaries. On Facebook, we'd probably label it "It's Complicated."
The latest conflict concerns two racy American Apparel ads (are there any other kind?) that prompted at least one consumer to complain to the ASA. The first ad showed a model's lower half in thigh-high socks and a leotard, while the other ad showed a model wearing nothing but an oversized sweater, lounging with her legs in the air. "The complainant," states the ASA, "believed the models appeared vulnerable" due to their sexualized, skin-baring poses.
...
In this case, the two ads in question are cited as being "overtly sexual." The ASA, which released its ruling this morning, decided to side with the complainant and ban the ads from ever running "in their current form."
