Maybe you shouldn’t click on this next link if your kiddies, or grandma is around. Now I might just a prude but I thought this ad was little too explicit. I saw it is GQ which is not exactly Maxim or Playboy. Maybe Tom Ford’s people could have pulled back a bit when setting this shot up. How about a string bikini bottom? It could have the same attention grabbing effect without being so … soft-core porn-ish? This ad is a full page with full page of pic of an oiled-up, open shirted, Tom Ford being pawed at by women’s hands next to it.
But like I said … maybe it’s just me.

That is crazy! The advertising industry consistently goes for shock value and it is amazing how use to it as a consumer we are. It takes so much now to shock that even though this seems crazy, yet it is not really enough to stir too much big time controversy up. Whats next?
I had to check the ad but the link brought me back to the blog page, maybe I didn’t do something right. In any case advertising is becoming more extreme and irrelevant in the campaigns but hopefully this will change as people would loss interest in the sex sex sex thing.
