Gisele Bundchen

No more sexy and hot for Armani, no more for Calvin Klein, no more beauty and sex appeal in ads. At least in EU. At least that’s what EU’s women’s rights committee intends to do. According to DailyMail.co.uk, the new rules on sexism and inequality in advertising come in the committee’s report, which has already been adopted by the European Parliament.

Claudia Schiffer and Sylvester Stallone

In short, it means that all ads that might seem sexy and raunchy might get banned in Europe simply because they “promote women as sex objects or reinforce gender stereotypes.” So forget about underwear ads and say thank you very much to Swedish MEP Eva-Brit Svensson, who introduced the report to the European Parliament.

David Beckham - Armani

“Gender stereotyping in advertising straightjackets women, men, girls and boys by restricting individuals to predetermined and artificial roles that are often degrading, humiliating and dumbed down for both sexes,” the MEP said.

Eva Herzigova - WonderBra

The committee’s provision is not a law, but it anyway may be considered by individual European Parliaments when dealing with advert control and regulations. The provision has already been called “inflexible and impractical.”

Kate Moss - Calvin Klein

One may wonder why this provision was made at all, as Advertising Standards Authority said existing codes already barred ads from being “discriminatory or harmful when depicting men or women.”

Nike - sexy ad

If EU individual parliaments do like the idea of banning sexy ads, it might be that lots of models won’t be able to do their job as faces of underwear ad campaigns. The industry will financially degrade. What do you think about it?

Miss Provocateur

  • Stirring things up!

  • Did you ever provoke a fight with your guy? You love getting on his nerves because that makes him so obscure and funny – “cute” so we say. No, you’re not sadistic. Just the fact that after the make up, it feels so sweet to be the conqueror- to have the feeling of power! To feel the situation is under your control - to cause a fight and then to stop it. Isn’t it just so dramatically sweet to push the edges once in a while?

    I love pushing his triggers. Some may think I’m an evil witch, but I’m simply making our relationship tempered, exciting, resolute, pert.

    If you intentionally get into a fight with him – you are not sick in a head (and no, you’re not just a bitch). Scientists say that a healthy relationship is a relationship where there are arguments, and any argument needs a solution, right? That takes out our negative energy and brings us closer.
