Honey Birdette accused of ‘soft porn’ as three ads deemed too sexual
Infamous lingerie brand Honey Birdette has fallen foul of the advertising watchdog yet again, this time for posters featuring multiple women.
One of the posters titled ‘Surrender to her command Candice’ has been labelled as “soft porn” for featuring two women in red lace lingerie standing face to face.
Honey Birdette’s ‘Candice’ ad
Need to start opening Mumbrella in incognito mode.
I might have to see a bit more before making my mind up on this one
I don’t think young boys need Honey Birdette ads in shopping centres to get their jollies these days. Any more than they did before shopping centres were even invented.
That is a ridiculous excuse. There are better if the ads’ existence in public places really needs to be talked about. (Cripes. Nearly
misspelled “public”…sorry Dr Freud).
Another day, another Honey Birdette “breaking news” article.
The only redeeming quality of these articles are the accompanying creatives pics that I quickly have to observe, get my jollies and then scroll past so that my female colleagues behind me don’t (correctly) judge me.
Also…..Waiting for the Wicked Camper monthly update – can’t wait to see what cheeky slogan they are in trouble for this month!
Boys see more at the beach and more from the young girls walking around the shopping centres than these ads.
I genuinely wonder if these were poses between a man and a woman, whether they would get the same degree of attention from the complainants?
Won’t somebody please think of the children!
