I was walking to the grocery store today. On the side of a liquor store (one that also has signage of bible quotes... wierd right?) was a liquor ad that was so nasty I had to stop and get a closer look.
I am a photographer, I've shot nudes. I understand that sex sells. I'm OK with nudes used in perfume ads for example, because that's more of a lifestyle product. But a nude lady in a liquor ad? On the side of a building?
Well why don't you just take a look.
There's more on the liquor company's website , both print ads and a flash thing involving the model's nipples. I guess the idea is if you show a bottle of this spirit to a woman she's going to rip off her clothes and have a writhing orgasm on the floor for your viewing pleasure.
Also ridiculous is how terribly the bottles have been photoshopped in.

I've never seen a woman with that little hair. She's completely bald.
Yeah, umm, because I am sure that naked woman is real representative of "authentic" Brasil. I hate how the ad just flashes body parts, too.
That's beyond ridiculous.
That ad just made me think of getting a brazilian for your genitals. That does not make me want to drink alcohol it makes me want to get morphine.
If you look on the company's website, you will be even more appalled. I'm not sure if they mean it to be this way, but they show a semi-pornographic video with sound effects that make it sound like the woman is being whipped or slapped. That might just be my take, but that's the general impression it left me with. You can email the company at:
