The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) found the image of
the singer was "sexually suggestive".
It shows Rihanna, apparently naked, sitting on the floor
with her legs raised against a bottle of Rogue scent.
Parlux Fragrances said the nudity was not improper and the
image was not offensive, suggestive or demeaning.
The ASA accepted Rihanna was mainly covered and had a facial
expression "of defiance rather than vulnerability".
But it also said: "While we did not consider the image
to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna's pose, with her legs raised
in the air, was provocative.
"Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to
be naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad was sexually
suggestive and should have been given a placement restriction to reduce the
possibility of it being seen by children."
What do you think about this ad? Do you think the same?
