[quote user="anatolian_goddess" post="94642"][quote user="tallpony" post="94635"]1. There is/was no nudity. Did you see a banger and two eggs? Thought not.[/quote]

bangers...aren't they the party favor that have a string you pull and it goes BANG? [/quote]

bangers are sausages if i'm not mistaken.

By the way, AG.
What do you make of this advert?

(aired approx. 6 months ago.)

rsa...
you're way off course with this ad. so what?
that's not what i'm questioning. remember a short while
ago, there was this 'announcement' that the Istanbul municipality wanted to do
away with billboards showing women in two-piece skimpy bathing suits? their reason
was that the billboards were causing accidents.

did you buy that explanation?

it seems to me that again there's a great dichotomy between what the
private sector is able to do and what the 'government' is telling us we have to do.

and if that's not something that causes anyone else to sit up and take notice,
well, maybe everyone else is more gullible than i am!

i see a 'friction' here...a sort of 'testing the limits' to see just how far this can
go. which isn't a bad thing necessarily.

do you see what i'm questioning here? i never said i disapproved of that ad...
i was just surprised to see it on public tv given the current state of affairs.

enough said, but i'm sure you'll find a way to drag this out further. YAWN

Well, I found this advert interesting, as it makes a definite reference to an erection, and breasts.
which was what you were referring to after a while.
-could a woman play in such an advert?-

[quote user="anatolian_goddess" post="94619"]okay..a question...

would this commercial have worked if the central characters' gender was
switched? would it have been fine for a nude woman to approach a male
checker in a supermarket?

just curious?

The advert makes a reference to a woman's physical attributes. [the breasts almost ripping the shirt apart]

so yes, it is possible in Turkey

Also, you didn't mention an erection. I'm just comparing the Garanti advert, and this advert.
I think this advert is much more "extreme" than the Garanti advert.
