sex sells...as i'm sure we've already figured out...look at almost any advertisment for any product, and i'm sure you'll find something "sexy"...and as far as their nudity goes...it's a little ludacris..i work at aeropostale...which is and has been a store that caters to late middleschool/highschool kids (having bright flashy clothes with the logo plastered all over it)...we ourselves just got in 3 different pairs of thongs...which are quite thongish, it was a little strange...funny how they havn't been selling at all...anyways the point is, we as a store, called h/q to find out what was up..and apparently they're changing their look to a more "college style a/f or a/e store" (less logo's more trendy) which i'm totally cool with, they're just showing older kids now having more "fun" in their advertisments, (for when they do advertise)....
being an advertising major, it's interesting to see how far companies will go, just to get press/attention...
take a look at some other examples:
Music-Eminem/marilyn manson/NWA
VideoGames- BMX XXX/Grand Theft Auto Series
Movies- Think about it, what havn't they had to edit just to make it R and Not NC-17 or MA or whatev...
and i agree with water boy..about the hangups part...
