How Much Is Too Much?

The following is probably not very work safe. The website linked, as well as the ad photos (put into thumbnail size for this reason, are pretty sexually explicit – as stated by Tom Ford’s website. I’m not putting them up here to be trashy…just simply making a point.

I heard that sex sells…but I think it’s getting quite ridiculous. I’m not offended by nudity or anything like that. But I think there’s a fine line between classy and trashy. I find Tom Ford’s new ad for his fragrance for men to be a bit too much.

The fact that the pictures are considered “sexually explicit” on his own website have to say something. I just don’t see why men need to look at naked women in order to purchase something. It’s not as if a naked, big-breasted woman is going to pop out of the bottle the minute he sprays it on.

I realize they’re not really exposing anything that shouldn’t be exposed. But I still think it’s too much. This goes for a lot of advertisers though. A lot of celebrities strip down for to sell their product. I just don’t see the point.
