Dolce & Gabbana pull controversial advert

Dolce & Gabbana are in trouble with the advertising watchdogs once again. Having apparently "glorified violence" with their ad campaign last year, the fashion house now stands accused of glorifying rape with the image shown above.

The advert has now been pulled by the company, after protests in Spain and Italy. Dolce & Gabbana agreed to stop using it, but insist that no offence was meant, with Stafano Gabbana saying that the image is artistic, and was intended "to recall an erotic dream, a sexual game." So, whaddya think?

I don't think the producers intended that nonsense. However it is disturbing. The woman is twice restrained, first by the men (rape?) and simultaneousl by herself by the clothing she's wearing. Is that stillettos and a corset. How practical. Is this women's emancipation?

I am deeply shocked and horrified that no one seems to be seeing the true dispickable meaning of this picture.

you all are wrong, it does not depict a gang rape, it indeed is far from it.

it may be a desperate attempt to open the brand for the heterosexual audience(who forseeably but falsely associates it with gang banging) but actually and much more disturbingly another display of how intolerant our society truly is.

the cool (wearing sunglasses) sexy elderly gentleman above the supposedly attractive female is actually

trying to educate the handsome young and therefor easliy impressable and sexually

confusable males around him that a woman is not only a human being but could also be seen as a sexual partner to start a family with. something the radical fractions of our society always proclaim to be the highest, only and true way of our species.

watch those poor boys closely how they are looking in slight disbelief yet curious about the female

gender which they never seen before in such a display.

still the state of not existing sexual arousal, their obvious uninterest in the girls primary or

secondary sexual attributes and slight boredom shows that they are unable to comprehend how someone could be sexually interested in a woman and not one of them has any thought of banging the girl yet alone as a gang.

this campaing shows that certain individuals in our world don't even refrain from using women in what they

believe erotic postures to turn our fine young and absolutely normal homosexual boys of young age by "curing" them from their so called desease.

what this picture does not tell us is that not only two of the models but also their hair stylist and make up aritst

had to be ambulantly treated after they went into a state of shock folowing their severe puking attack before the end of the shoot because they actually saw a woman that close and in such a vulgar and repulsive naked way.

I never thought that even the designers could be corrupted into betraying homosexuality but obviously these days people do anything for money.

The minute I saw this photo, I thought the models were portraying rape! This "erotic dream" went very wrong. Maybe they should have had the woman smiling, the men lined up. The dudes look like they are trapping her. It totally looks like gang rape.

I think it's fine - in fact I think it's a gorgeous photo. Though there is something a bit unsettling about it, I like it. Most fashion ads are too boring, this stirs it up a little and I like it. It's uncomfortable to look at, but I've always been a fan of things like that. So, I can see what the fuss is all about, but I don't mind it.
