    Discussion: The bonds survey

    I am disgusted by the proposed Bonds underwear advertising. It is really off. There is enough crudeness already today and I don't think it appropriate that Bonds encourage or condone it. Also. in the survey we were asked to number the ads from 1 to 8 from the one we liked best to the one we liked least. They were ALL really crude and there should have been a box to tick NONE and that was NOT supplied. I think that gives a false survey answer. SHAME on Bonds.

    Who's to say that a topic is more or less crude than an equally opposing representation labelled art?

    In this instance, you have perceived that the advertisement is deemed to sexually imposing, whereas the creators of the ad and/or survey have possibly thought that no one could find their creations offensive. Shame on Bonds? Or shame on yourself for being so narrow-minded?

    Perhaps suggest to CafeStudy they include a feedback option at the conclusion of the survey to voice these thoughts. I think posting survey opinions in the forums could be a possible detraction to attend.

    DD says: Ummm.... of all the ads to criticize, you choose to criticize bonds? Can't help but laugh. I don't actually remember the partcular ad you are talking about, but it was Bonds... Maybe it's because I don't know of this particular ad, but I can't see how a bonds ad can be so bad.

    I like ALL of the current Bonds ads. The particular one I was referring to was shown in a survey and was quite different and I really could not take it any way other than I did.
    It has not been yet? been published anywhere.

    Respondees, did u complete the said survey?
    If u did not then don't comment as u would have NO idea what I am talking about..
    I am entitled to my opinion anyway and my opinion was NOT directed personally towards anyone. I take offence that respondees to my comment have directed their comments towards me PERSONALLY.
    Grow up!
