The Beautiful and the Banned?

Marks and Spencer- Banned 2011
Banned by the ASA for being 'too sexually suggestive' I couldn't help but compare it to other adverts censored for the same reason.......

Calvin Klein 2009
Tom Ford 2010
Elle Macpherson Intimates 2004

YSL 2000
Antonio Federici Ice Cream 2009
The one that got away....  ASA allowed this Gucci ad through the censor as the ad was 'intimate rather than sexually agressive' and 'unlikely to offend'. 

Gucci 2003

Incidentally, the Andrej Pejic cover of Dossier Journal has just been censored by Barnes and Noble.

As i sat in my sweatpants with a tub of Phish food...

 'Praise him with tambourines and dancing' (Psalm 150 v 4). Pope John Paul throwing some shapes in his red Prada shoes.
