According to Wikipedia:
"In modern media, images of partial and full nudity are used in advertising to draw additional attention. In the case of attractive models this attention is due to the visual pleasure the images provide; in other cases it is due to the relative rarity of images of nudity. The use of nudity in advertising tends to be carefully controlled to avoid the impression that the company whose product is being advertised is indecent or unrefined. There are also (self-imposed) limits on what advertising media such as magazines allow. The success of sexually provocative advertising is claimed in the truism "sex sells". However, responses to nudity in American advertisements have been more mixed; nudity in the advertisements of Calvin Klein, Benetton, and Abercrombie & Fitch, to name three companies, have provoked much negative as well as positive positive response..."
We at i-Naked.info like most people believes that Sex Sells, but sometimes the advertising agencies do create some imaginative, interesting, funny and even thought-provoking advertising campaigns.
So to highlight the best that the advertising agencies have created, i-Naked.info has started to document any adverts that use nudity. We hope this could start a wider debate about nudity in mainstream society and maybe find new methods of how we could promote non-sexual nudity to the masses.
To get started here is a nude video Commercial by the Ministry Of Sound
The Ministry Of Sound pushes advertising boundaries back in 2001 to promote their The Annual - Spring 2001 album. You can watch the censored version of the same advert on YouTube or another nude version here.
QUESTION: How do you feel watching this video? Would you be offended to see these images in this on normal TV? Can nude advertising be creative and inhibiting, or is it sometimes inappropriate? Watching it as a naturist, I see nothing wrong, just young people (maybe young naturists) enjoying the music. But I can see from another viewpoint that some might see this as just using sex to sell a product. Leave your comments below:
