No G-Strings Attached!

The ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) has banned a poster of two women wearing g-strings from being displayed near places of worship. While the ASA received only two complaints, both were from Muslim leaders, claiming the cheeky advert could corrupt young men and women of the muslim faith. The authority agreed with them. And, in a ruling published today, it has for the first time in its 40-year history banned a poster from being displayed near places of worship.

Media clean-up campaigners reacted furiously, however, because the restriction applies only to mosques. They pointed out that it resulted from just two complaints - from mosques in the North of England - while leaders of Christian churches have complained about lewd advertising for years. The offending poster, for Sloggi underwear, was seen all over Britain in March and April with the slogan 'It's string time'. Four models wearing only high heels and G-strings were shown with their backs to the camera, leaving little to the imagination.
