Abercrombie & Fitch's Ad



This isn't indecent ... But this is



WHAT is the fuss over American fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch's giant advertisement, which the regulatory watchdog, the Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore (ASAS), saw fit to define as indecent ('Abercrombie & Fitch ad 'indecent' but will stay for now'; Thursday)?

Would ASAS care to assess a truly obscene poster advertising a local firm specialising in beauty and waxing? The vulgar visual of the poster advertising Strip: Ministry of Waxing is plastered in malls and on lamp posts, and as street buntings. One cannot fail to see it at The Cathay building and on lamp posts around Great World City, to name two of the places.
