I came across this one ad on line. It had a very sexy appeal. Well I started reading about it to find it's purpose and what it was about. The article actually talked about China banning all advertisements that are seductive and tantalizing material viewed on television or radio. The ban that China enacted includes ads for sex-related health supplements, sex toys, breast enhancements, and female underwear. China is very big on moral values and does not wish to be portrayed in a trashy way. They take a strong defense in protecting their cultures identity. China feels that these type of ads are misleading, harm public health, and are corrupting. China strongly strives to find harmony in the visual appeal as well as logic to justify the products true intent. They wish not to be influenced by western culture. This image is just one of the ads that would not be approved by China.

Wow... i really like this ad. Not only because its sexy as hell, but because of the typography on the body. It sort of gives the lettering and organic yet super modern approach. Some of my personal artwork includes typography revolving around the body, usually in a seductive, sexy sort of way. I think I should post those photos.
@Christian:
Yes!! You should post those up... I'd love to see your work :D
The sad think is how women are always used as sexual objects in ads, music videos, etc. Anyways, the type on the naked body is interesting and because of its sexiness, people for sure won't pass through it by not being interested what is the ad about.
