New Push-Up Bra Commercial with Surprise Ending Goes Viral
Push-up bra commercials tend to be pretty formulaic: Put a hot girl in bra, cut to lots of close-ups of her insane cleavage and call it a day. But this Taiwanese commercial for a Wacoal push-up bra turns that formula on its head. It begins with the usual lingerie fodder--lots of sensual shots of an attractive woman, her blouse oh-so-casually undone to show her lace bra peeking through. But then, this woman begins to undress and things get...well, very interesting.
American Apparel Ads Come Under Fire... Again
The recent lawsuit brought against Dov Charney for allegedly choking an employee isn't the only reason American Apparel is in the news today: The retailer's risque digital campaigns have been deemed "irresponsible" by an advertising watchdog in the UK, The Telegraph is reporting. According to the complaints, American Apparel's ads featured "gratuitous" nudity and the sexualization of models who appear to be under 16. We know... shocker.

David Beckham for H&M Ad Gets Called 'Offensive' and 'Unsuitable For Children'
Do you find this David Beckham for H&M ad "offensive" and "unsuitable for children to see"? The U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority has received three complaints to that effect, asking the industry watchdog to ban the ads, according to Vogue UK. Three people called the ad offensive, while two of those complaints stated the ad was "irresponsible" because "it contained material that they said was unsuitable for children to see." But don't worry--you haven't seen the last of Beckham's bulge: The ASA rejected the claims and defended the ads, pointing out there's no actual nudity and after all, it's an underwear campaign for chrissakes. The findings stated:

Exclusive: American Apparel's Newest Ad Features No Pubes; Features Nobody At All
Based on the ads we've seen from American Apparel in the new year, it seemed it was fair to say the struggling hipster retailer was returning to its racy roots--each new ad more shocking and porn-y than the previous one. To wit: pantless models climbing trees, topless models painting their nails or riding a horse (like the one at right), and one model whose pubic hair shows through her white lace panties that got everyone else's panties in a bunch. The ads are unquestionably provocative and we questioned whether the near-bankrupt retailer was returning to their '70s porn-esque advertising roots after a streak of more benign and conservative ads--including illustrated ones and one featuring founder Dov Charney working on his laptop--in an effort to drive up sales. But a new ad set to run in an upcoming issue of VICE flies in the face of that theory. It features, well, no one. No partially nude barely legal college student, no Dov Charney, no one. Check it out.
