Body Line

I saw this poster displayed on a bus stop in Guangzhou, China. I know for a fact that this would not be allowed to be advertised in the UK, although I’m pretty sure there are no issues advertising this not only in China, but in almost every country in Asia (and other parts of the world?).

Is this wrong?

my chinese is quite basic but i think that the ad just say that all type of women go to marie france…
a certain kind of the women emancipation movement seems to want people to be that blind that they can’t even state simple geometric figures like “round” (like in ! a round/big belly”).
but i also know the opposite from (asian) advertisements where character traits like being nasty or plain stupid are very closely interlinked to being overweight people :S

Agreed. I personally think there’s nothing wrong with ads like these… it’s a fact the world is made up of people all different colours and sizes… so people should accept it.
