Skin Censored For Being Too Sexy

We all know sex sells, right? Or at least we like to think it does, studies be damned. And we all know some people don’t like the use of sexual imagery in ads so they try to censor it. Marketers, ever the ones to twist a meme to their favor, have taken to “censoring” what really doesn’t need to be censored just to make the whole thing sexier than it really is.

The latest entry in this game is a campaign from Grey in Mumbai which pitches Anne French skin cream as being so effective, the results have to be pixelated.

Yes. Don’t you wish your legs were that hot?
