If prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, then using sex to sell a product is the world’s oldest marketing plan.
And leave it to the EU to want to stop it
MEPs want TV regulators in the EU to set guidelines which would see the end of anything deemed to portray women as sex objects or reinforce gender stereotypes.
This could potentially mean an end to attractive women advertising perfume, housewives in the kitchen or men doing DIY.
Such classic adverts as the Diet Coke commercial featuring the bare-chested builder, or Wonderbra’s “Hello Boys” featuring model Eva Herzigova would have been banned.
The new rules come in a report by the EU’s women’s rights committee.
So I take it that this Cadillac commercial w/Kate Walsh would be completely out of bounds
After all, it mentions things like shoes and gossip magazines.
