"No women's bodies were exploited in this ad"
From Jezebel:
France's Eram has launched a series of ads featuring ostriches and a naked guy with a tagline that translates to, "no women's bodies were exploited in this ad."
This comes from the actual posting at Feminist Law Professors titled "Mocking Sexism or Mocking Feminism?".
Check it out.

I liked the ad.
The main logical reason to have a problem with ads featuring naked women is that almost all "sexy" ads show women instead of men. If men aren't sexualized, then society only learns to acknowledge heterosexual male sexuality. This is why people assume that women don't have sex drives, only have sex in exchange for money or a wedding ring, and so on an and so forth.
So any ad featuring a hot naked guy in heels makes me happy.
Incidentally, the ostrich is also male.
I like it. I think it is funny. Hell, I would buy their shoes just for the ostrich!
