Australian ad causes offence

[Anonymous]

Isn't the drunk Finn on mod approve posting?

Yes, and I disapprove more than half of his drunk spam..



Does he not like the competition on VF from that other bloated liver, Mel?

The advert is grotesque in it's overt sexualization of young girls.

I had to rewatch it, its not sexualizing at all. Look at it from a dancing perspective. These lil girls are actually doing a good job for their age. The only thing somewhat sexual is the pole, cause thats what our brains are programmed to think, dancing on a pole is sexual.

It's not how athletic the girls are, they are incredible and obviously accomplished gymnasts...It's the inappropriate camera angles,... the accentuation of the spread leg crotch shots that are the problem....did you miss that shit?

Already removed a few things but I will clean up this thread after Fash and I discuss it. .

So why would you approve a post where he drools over young girls?  WTF?

I think the olympics competitions television coverage could be called out for the same things from what I have observed over the years.

Just so everyone knows, Rule 9 edit was discussed and agreed upon. Fash and I are in agreement and on this particular edit no discussions will be held, we will both edit or delete as necessary.

So obviously SCOUSE's thread title What?? is ok.

The thread "title"...yes. I edited it immediately after he made it since it said "What the Fuck????"...While the first post (meme) is questionable, legitimate discussion of pedophilia is acceptable. Flames, insults and off colored remarks directed at someone (members) is not acceptable.

Have you ever been to a strip club Renee    ?



Serious, cause when they do spread em like that and swing, it exerts a lot of force on the pole and you would almost think it was gonna come unhinged from the ceiling lololol. I think they are trying to show that the pole can handle it. Here I found this in the comments that helps explain.....



The reason they have their legs spread is for balance, just like horizontal poles in gymnastics. Competitive pole is a sport. There is no ass shaking going on here, only pole tricks also referred to as pole art. There is no dancing in the advertisement. What these young girls are doing is an art, and very much a sport. Not anything akin to stripping.



I also found this, maybe they should have run this advertisement first before pissing off the moms

Olympic gymnastics came to mind as well.

Yes I've been to strip clubs. When I was in college I worked in an adult novelty/book store. There was a "gentleman's juice bar" which in this state means "full nude no alcohol" right around the corner. I became well acquainted with some of the girls that used to work there and I know what the leg positions are for....and I know how difficult it can be and the strength and balance it requires to do stuff like that.



BUT strip clubs also don't employee prepubescent girls, now do they? At least not in this country...I can't vouch for the third world rat holes that guys like Gordy hang out in... ac_biggrin . But there is a stigma attached to pole dancing that most people find unsavory.



And you are correct, the choice of individuals using the product was wrong and it would have gone a long way to making the commercial more palatable had they used a little more common sense.

But if you call them prepubescent girls strippers you're gonna break their hearts  



lol



They honestly think they are being gymnastic dancers. Western stigma I agree, looks bad "here" to most.



Hell, maybe out of all the auditions, the lil girls did the best lolol. "Lets use them!" lol. OR, maybe the product doesnt handle grown people as good as the children, so were obliged to use the kids.
