Some might say this French American Apparel ad is offensive (for the full effect, click the “more” link below which is NSFW). There’s been much discussion over the years about American Apparel’s ad campaign and whether or not it reduces females to play things for men. But if you spend even a few minutes on Flickr, Webshots, Photobucket and any number of weblogs that obsesses over the given subject matter, you will come to realize that women of a certain age really do like to pull their shirts up and show us their tits.
Are we to blame American Apparel for simply mirroring this increasingly common behavior. After all, just how harmful can it be to share one’s curvaceous beauty? The girl in this ad seems to have no problem showing us hers. Although, from the darkened coloration of a certain area of her shorts in the topless portion of the shot, we wonder if she’s enjoying it a bit too much for a photo shoot.
