Um...

There are so many things wrong with this D & G by Dolce & Gabbana ad from Spring/Summer 2007—the half-naked, overly airbrushed and oiled men, the completely nude model lying in a sacrilegious pose on what appears to be some sort of…torture chair, the model on the far left “seductively” holding onto the leather strap that’ll probably end up tying the naked model to the chair, the unnecessary nudity of the naked model, and the uncomfortable feeling of viewing a pornographic photo when I look at this. So much attention is drawn to the nude model by the bright, gold lights that it detracts from what is already barely being advertised (which I am assuming are jeans and that fancy fringed vest). This ad is so offensive; not only to Christians, but also to any potential viewers who will see the nude model’s pose against the chair and wonder why there was a necessity felt for him to be positioned in that manner.
