Oh how we love when interest groups over react and can’t see a joke for the joke it is. A bunch of American nurses have complained about a recent Skechers ad featuring Christina Aguilera dressed in nurse fantasy (fantasy, get it?) attire.
Center For Nursing Advocacy Executive Director Sandy Summers said, “This ad simultaneously exploits the ‘naughty nurse’ and the battleaxe/Nurse Ratched stereotypes, setting the nurse up both as an available sex object and a mock-malevolent authority figure, rather than a competent professional.”
The ad has been banned. Overseas, at least. See the original story and all the ads here.
