No!(but obv.)

Let's discuss the first level of advertisement...how many people have you passed 'that' on to as a means of proving that we should shut down communication?

I know nothing really about Chinese culture, but are cultural differences a factor here? Would most Chinese people see perfectly innocent pictures of children doing something they find fun, whereas we see something different?

Kind of my point.

It may be that their culture is innocent and still sees kids portraying adult roles as cute.

Aha! But what are adult roles?

Therein lies the cultural question/answer that we'd rather not pay attention to but are glad we know, because our culture tells us!

Yy, I see what you mean. Mind you, we do also see it in our culture. I'm too tired to search for any images, but also not inclined as it reeks of DIF. I'm sure you've seen Western the high fashion ads with similar unsavoury undertones.

I dont give a fuck what culture you're from, there's no way any human with an ounce of morality can look at those pictures and see them as alright... or any pictures like them, no matter where it is.

Exactly!

Nobody finds these images 'comfortable'. Why/who is asking us to and who/why?

Does it freak women out? or do they laugh at them?

If it was say a lad doing muscle men poses i would think it was stupidly funny.

Have you seen Gender Ads? It's been around for a while and there's a section on youngsters if I remember rightly.

It really is very enlightening. I used it for my dissertation about whether a majority of advertisements showing were misogynistic and if so, did they contribute towards rape and assaults on women.... Or some bollocks like that.

Would it be funny if an 8 year old boy in pants was on a billboard for Calvin Klein?

I would just think it was a bit ridiculous,pointless and possibly precocious.

I had problems with that back then and I was just a kid myself really. Although, I expect my mothers very vocal opinions on it swayed me somewhat.

@andy... sorry that sounded so brunt, didn't mean it to come out quite like it did and didnt notice until I read my response just now :emb:

I was never allowed to watch the Mini-pops for that exact same reason. My parents said it was too creepy.
