Ad rage

A group outraged by the sexual exploitation of women in advertising has organised a campaign across London Underground stations. The group posts 'This degrades women' stickers on offensive adverts including posters for Eminem's 'The Marshall Mathers LP'. This week, the Advertising Standards Authority banned Yves Saint Laurent's Opium ads featuring a naked Sophie Dahl and received a fresh batch of complaints about Philips' Voice Command billboard campaign. The posters show the slogan 'Just say it and I'll do it' alongside an illustration of a woman and some of them have already been 'ad busted' by those eager to endorse Philips' pliant portrayal of women.
