I've seen worse ads about perfume

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 78 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On one hand, I find nothing wrong with the photograph.

On the other hand, I’m sick of fucking OnlyFans spam online, it’s disgusting to see more spam in real life.

Also billboards as a whole can get fucked.

I don't see how it's worse than other kinds of advertisment. We are spammed by ads everywhere. What difference does it make whether it's an OnlyFans or a car you will never buy?

Remember jeans ads from the 90s? Jeans were all they had on!

In the 2000s women were straight up having orgasms in shampoo commercials.

French guys 40 upwards were having their first orgasm to shampoo adverts

They don't make shampoo the way they used to :-(

Those were the days, B&W pictures of coked-up anorexic Calvin Klein jeans models shot topless from the back with maybe a bit of sideboob depending on where they put their arm.

That’s tame. Mark Whalburg was a underwear model.

My thoughts exactly.

They are overtly sexual.... but not moreso than many other ads.

But is it about what’s directly on the billboard, or about what it’s advertising?

Like, Pornhub could make a billboard with nothing risqué on it, but the fact that it’s advertising a porn website would be an issue wouldn’t it?

Maybe not, I’m just curious tbh.

A billboard would have just 'Hub' written in a yellow rectangle and we'd know what it is lmao.

Netflix has some of the raunchiest posters I’ve ever seen

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Netflix has zero skill anymore. They rely completely on sex and controversy to sell shows now. Gone are the days of sell a show based on a good story.

Or dances that trend on TikTok.
