Define "partially naked".When I lived in England - a country not exactly famed for its liberal attitudes towards sexuality and/or nudity - there were underwear adverts featuring young people in their unmentionables on the walls in tube stations and - as far as I know - nobody had a cow about it.

I always get this creepy feeling when i see an a&f poster or bag. The expression on the model's face, the way the photograph is shot...without associations and references to anything else other than its own image, that of the unquestioning, unquestionable Young White Male Body, robust and sexualized. Yes, it's nice and i'm sure it sells, but really? is beauty/sex/desire/youth so narrowly defined? there's something suffocating and totalitarian about it. Are we in Nazi-era Germany? As for soft porn ads, AA does it too, but at least AA uses models a bit more diverse in their body shapes and coloring. AA presents a heavily sexualized image of the body as well, which can be nauseating and sexist, but you don't have to be blonde haired blue eyed swimming in paradise to achieve their look.
