Elle Macpherson's Lingerie Line Ad Banned

Thursday March 4, 2004
A print ad appearing in Vogue for supermodel Elle Macpherson's lingerie line has been banned after consumer complaints.

The ad featured a model with her thumbs hooked into her underwear. The Advertising Standards Authority reviewed the ad and says it is indeed offensive and can't be run again.

I haven’t seen that ad. Her collection looks beautiful. Hautelook.com is having a sample sale tomorrow for it. I can’t wait! They have the best deals on this site.

Wow the thought police strike again. We’re safe now, thanks to the Advertising “Authority”. Guess we better not make any ads
