With the many things in life that need to be protested and changed, as long as it isn't rated R in front of my kids, I really don't much care.
There's not a thing wrong with the human body. It's a wondrous miracle of nature.
Me said:I am quite put off by it, personally. As some others said regarding bad beer, including that kind of thing makes me feel an involuntary rejection of the product as it seems like a transparent attempt to prop up an insufficient product with "below the belt" advertising.
There are some quite attractive ladies who do some mighty fine shooting with top tier equipment. Seeing THEM favoring a certain gun (in a competition setting, in full competition gear) may be a compelling sales tool.
Some unknown woman, in neither a shooting setting nor in shooting gear, is just clutter that overpowers the item being sold. If the advertiser message overpowers the qualities of the item being sold with the "qualities" of the model holding the item, chances are the gun won't be MORE impressive when I'm holding it and she isn't there.
In some limited cases, an attractively dressed woman might make an effective sales tool if she was present in the ad to demonstrate the particular utility of that gun for minimalist concealed carry. But I've yet to see an ad that really did that effectively.
Most are just cheesecake. That "belongs" in ads for lousy beer and sleazy Vegas vacations. Not for any gun I'd want to buy.
So because YOU don't like it you feel that others shouldn't be allowed to make their own choices? This sort of mindset really aggravates me.
Helloooooo! This entire thread is composed of random opinions. Nobody's here selling you anything. If you don't want to read opinions, navigate yourself away from this thread. Don't come here and complain about the only person who cited religious beliefs as the basis for his opinion. (I'm sure that was a coincidence, right?)So because YOU don't like it you feel that others shouldn't be allowed to make their own choices?I am offended by all "trashy" advertising and media. Might not be what you'd expect from a 16 year old boy, but I am proud of my religious principles and feel that those sorts of things go against them.
Good. You seem to be an extremely tolerant individual when it comes to the beliefs of others. Give yourself a pat on the back, champ; you earned it.This sort of mindset really aggravates me.
I would pay more attention to an ad for a firearm featuring Meg Ryan in a bikini
