Brian Atwood Ads With Naked Candace Swanepoel Banned Fashion brand Brian Atwood hooked up with Victoria's Secret angel Candice Swanepoel for a steamy ad campaign.

Back when DDT helped make healthier, more comfortable homes; when sugar could help you lose weight; when lysol was a feminine hygiene aid; when babies drank 7-Up and when donuts were a vitamin-filled health food. Oh yes, wallow in the glory days of advertising by reading the Top Ten Most Dangerous Ads. My how times have changed.
