Nudity in U.S. Advertising on the Rise

After years of ridiculous political correctness and idiotic uptightness about sex, advertisers are finally saying “screw it” and using more nudity in advertising. From the naked kid who gets electrocuted in a TeenAIDS ad to Gillette’s nude lemon woman, to Nike’s streaker, ads are wearing fewer clothes.

It’s about time. This anti-nudity stance that America has had for so long is just a twisted sense of logic. It’s OK so show the most gruesome violence in movies and on TV but showing nudity and sex are taboo. Why is that? What are we afraid of? People having sex? My god, that would be awful if people actually had sex rather than picking up a gun an blowing someone’s head off.
