This morning's Today Show had a piece about a French underwear designed who created a line targeted at little girls under the age of 12. The "lingerie" is provocative and way too sexy in my opinion for young children. Even more shocking are the ads that were created to promote the "lingerie."
Since I personally don't find them appropriate, I won't insert any of them here. But, you can find images of them on The Today Show's website.
However, having grown up in a household with a European parent and spent a LOT of time in Europe, I'm not too surprised. Europeans in general are much less modest than Americans and are much more open to sexuality in general. Nudity is a common occurrence found on television and print ads - and don't forget that most beaches in Europe are topless and sometimes nude.
That said, I think that there is something to be said about bringing young children into the situation changes the game. There are already too many images and ideas that bombard us and can cause problems with children emotionally/psychologically and this is yet another situation that can add to it.
These ads would definitely not fly here in the United States.
What do you think? Are you OK with these ads? If so, why?
