London’s Muslim Mayor Bans Sexy Women In Advertisements

Re: London's new Muslim mayor loves him some censorship!

Nope. Many Londoners, including the mayor, believe based off their morality, that these ads do not belong in a public government owned space.
Also, morality can and mostly does includes politics.

Looks like censorship to me, but what do I know?

It's too soon to make a judgement call.

We'll know more as the mayor's term progresses. If he has a cow over a repeat of the famous Slut Walk London, we'll know that it's based in religion -- not in feminism.

Because these are the real feminists:

What advertiser would waste money on that? What parent would permit it's purchase? Tell me, what other decisions would you like government to make for you? Which other censorship would you support?

You're not dealing with rational, clear thinking people... It's more like toying with a household pet.

Don't take them seriously... I don't. Most are lost causes.

One of the most complained about ads? Not THE most complained about ads? Was THE most complained about ad censored as well one wonders?

Just pointing out the many many many flaws in your logic and your inaccurate and inconsistent logic. Watching you try to defend your statements of saying this was a "Islamists political decision" is quite amusing.

What exactly is wrong with the ad? I mean, sure, the quality of the ad could be better, but the content of the ad seems fine.

Those who are against the ad say it promotes an unhealthy lifestyle, unrealistic body image, and "aims to make them feel physically inferior to the unrealistic* body image of the bronzed model, in order to sell their product."

In my personal opinion I really dont care. Dont care if its up and wouldnt care if it was down. But what Im challenging here is Howler63's statement saying it was "Islamism".

Oh my god. :doh Are you aware of one? Are you aware of one that had large protests and a petition that had 71,056 signees? https://www.change.org/p/proteinworld-arjun-seth-remove-are-you-beach-body-ready-advertisements
Click to expand...

That article is eye roll worthy. The mindless bitching and pity me crap is pathetic.

Also...

Perhaps not everyone's priority is having a 'beach body' (by the way, what is that?), and making somebody feel guilty for not prioritising it by questioning their personal choices is a step too far. A body's function is far more intricate and important than looking 'beach ready', so in fact it is Protein World who have confused their priorities, if anyone.

Well, if you want your body to function at peak efficiently it might be a good idea to have a good body. I know it's shocking that fitness affects your body's function, but yeah there is a reason athletes are fit.

Islamic censorship masquerading as Feminism.

Oh, sweet, sweet, dear London....what have you done to yourselves?
Click to expand...

Frankly I support this guy in this.

Two very valid reasons:

First these images are endorsing not just an unhealthy body type to women but are also the cause of unhealthy habits such as anorexia. Women today are pressured to look like something that they're not and that pressure gets to them so often that anorexia is considered a disease.

Second those images are quite frankly false advertisements. Every single one of them are photo shopped. If the original models couldn't look that then why the hell do people think that anyone can ever look that "good"?

When my nieces were going to school the schools gymnasium had pictures of "healthy" children and encouraged the children there to look like that. I found it disgusting. They have since discontinued that practice because of the harm it was causing and instead promote a more healthy lifestyle instead of promoting looks.

Henrin said:
Actually he's getting into the business of restricting things because of self body image issues. Why not restrict ads of women with big breasts, men in good shape, etc? Why just ban skinny women? If you're going to open the "ban things because it makes people self conscious bag" then you have an absolute ton of stuff to ban to make your way through it.

I thought I started a thread on this... And my post following the quote was...

... This should be interesting...

Because it's a massive can of worms with no end.

It's a ultra-trivial issue to be spending time on for a mayor. He's got WAY BIGGER FISH TO FRY...

... And because he brings it up, and because he is a Muslim, one cannot help but wonder if this is driven by his religious beliefs.

To think otherwise is not to be thinking at all... Which most Leftists do not do.

Fat people should feel physically inferior.

Before you jump on your soap box, consider that there are only three possibilities how the fat ones can feel: (1) superior, (2) inferior, and (3) nothing - which is what the brain dead feel.

And women get breast implants due to body image issues related to their boobs. If they see women in ads, tv, movies or other media with big boobs it could lead to making those issues worse. When that happens their chances of getting breast implants increases considerably. Oh and btw, body image issues are NOT created by images, but are only given focus. The issue has to exist before the image was ever seen for it to affect them in a negative fashion. To blame pictures for self body image issues is ignoring the facts.

These ads are the least of the trouble that cause women to waif-out.

He's wasting his time... And I think he must be an idiot. IS THIS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR A MAYOR OF LONDON?

NO.

It's a ****ing joke.

What's he gonna do, create a Dept. of Acceptable Advertising?

Piss off mate... Concern yourself with something of importance.

He's made an absolute fool of himself. Mind you... Sharia types are lov'in it.

I don't see this as a trivial issue at all. Anorexia is so common place that it is now considered a disease instead of an aberrant behavior.
