We live in a free capitalist society . We fought for so many years to obtain our GOD given right to freedom of speech . If you don't like it , go live in Iraq.

subtle!  by  tiara
Oh, that's really subtle. GOD and Iraq. Who are you. George W?
But you're absolutely right. Prostitution is second oldest profession and they have a right to advertise.

It is distasteful  by  Willem
Go live in the Netherlands if you feel that prostitution is right. God and prostitution mentioned in the same sentence, you are sick. It promotes a bad lifestyle!!!

lame but not offensive.
The Teazers campaign is rather lame, especially the
"BUMper to BUMper traffic" board. But it isn't offensive, in fact it makes me a little jealous, i wish i had a bum like that!!

Catch a wake up, watchTV  by  kleendin, jhb
There is more slut, sleaze and filth at the end of a 6 year old's remote watching a regular national TV station (with their parents in the next room nogal) than there can ever be on our billboards, including the Teazers's scantily clad ones.

Unless there is a bicycle parked on your pavement outside your quite suburban home, please find something else to vent your frustations on.

That campaign rocks and those girls are fine. Nice work Lolly.  by  Ced
Come on guys. Lets not be jealous about how enticing those billboards are, and the only reason the ladies are wining, is because their hubbies love them too. Ladies if you want to keep your hubbies home more, try spice things up a bit...

agreed2
The fact that they are situated in residential areas is quite shocking!!
Good luck to you and your "capitalist" society Brad - so there is a price for everything, even women and their dignity....

indeed!  by  yabbat
The fact that they are situated in residential areas is no doubt indicative of who they deem their "target market" to be: middle-income married men... shocking indeed. (unless they skeem most married women are gay? or maybe they plan on letting the children in?)

Sad stuff.

Teazers Advertising  by  Jill
I agree that this is extremely distasteful and "in your face". I too have had to explain to my kids "why that lady has no clothes on - what for!!!"
