Raunchy poster taken down due to its use of 'sexual imagery'

thesun.co.uk — "A SAUCY poster advertising a lap dancing club has been taken down - after locals were shocked by its cork-popping sexual imagery. The advert, for club Grace of Brighton, showed a scantily-clad model holding a foaming bottle of champagne with its cork flying through the air."

    • fyngyrz, on 02/07/2008, -6/+14This is just one more sign of a fossilized government, imposing censorship and playing "mommy" to its citizens. Pitiful. Truly pitiful. As if sex was bad.
      • Tarnum, on 02/07/2008, -1/+13Sex is bad. If you are a British politician, born in the 1930s.

    • vidar808, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1Except they put illusion to instead of alluding to...
  • Spectre74, on 02/07/2008, -5/+105The only people offended are the ones who wish is was their bottle getting foamy.
    • GoKings, on 02/07/2008, -1/+13I wasn't offended... and I sure wish it was my bottle getting foamy...
    • jferrari, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5I got offended when they removed it.
  • hollywoodkids, on 02/07/2008, -1/+139Sometimes a foaming bottle of champagne with its cork flying through the air is just a foaming bottle of champagne with its cork flying through the air.
    • pilot3033, on 02/07/2008, -1/+28there is no sex, in the champagne room

    • mmorisy, on 02/07/2008, -2/+10Sorry, bud, but read the dateline. It's SkyNews over there.
  • stevedriskill, on 02/07/2008, -7/+1I've been there, actually. I didn't know they really meant my 'cork'...
  • dino74, on 02/07/2008, -1/+76i don't get it . . . i mean she's just jerking off a champagne bottle.
    • shit, on 02/07/2008, -0/+20Thank god she wasn't giving it a blowjob.
      • AzureRise, on 02/07/2008, -0/+6Then she would've just been drinking it. And after that she would swallow......the champagne.
  • pduke001, on 02/07/2008, -4/+15BRITNEY?!
    • AzureRise, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4She's resorted to giving handjobs to make a living now. Freaks me out when she starts talking about being the anti-christ and tries to shave her head. I tell her to stop that or i'll only give her five dollars instead of ten.

    • MortalynFlux, on 02/07/2008, -1/+1yeah, it made mine crash as well. creepy.
  • kd1s, on 02/07/2008, -4/+5I take it the ASA is run by a group of Christian and Muslim fundamentalists. Please, kids are a lot smarter than people generally think.
    • 35263526, on 02/07/2008, -1/+3It's worse than that; they're not banning it for kids, but because adults might get offended.

      /***** fundies (specific sky-friend irrelevant, unless it's the one with beer and strippers)...
  • blacktriangle, on 02/07/2008, -0/+47She should be catching the champagne in her mouth.
  • Neekolazz, on 02/07/2008, -7/+2Is that Britney Spears?? if so then thats not raunchy, that's just disgusting.
  • FolleFille, on 02/07/2008, -0/+7"Christmas bookings now being taken"

    C'mere and sit on Santa's lap...
  • Lapper, on 02/07/2008, -1/+19Ugh, I hate it when people try to advertise their patently non-sexual nightclub with blatant sexual imagery.
    • jgzman, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5'Full Nude Lapdances' sounds a mite sexual to me. Perhaps not as sexual as I might wish, though.
  • LiarGame, on 02/07/2008, -9/+13I don't understand how some of the commentors here actually disagree with taking down the poster.
    It's considerably more inappropriate than the average poster.
    • rootneg2, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1really?

      This doesn't seem to be much worse that your average American Apparel, Dolce&Gabbana, Abercrombie&Fitch, etc. advertisement. At least the content is appropriate for the venue/product with this ad...
  • TheRealToma, on 02/07/2008, -0/+45I think the kids will be more focused on her boobs than a bottle of champagne.
    • cchott1, on 02/07/2008, -7/+2This kids probably won't even understand what the bottle is supposed to be., they'll be to busy with the bobs
  • fearlessfx, on 02/07/2008, -0/+21oh well, controversy is good free advertising.
  • Ellipsys, on 02/07/2008, -1/+9So I take it those that would really be offended by this have never seen oh... I don't know.... the internet? Really now, I could understand if there was an actual ***** in her hand, or even a guy with the base of the champagne bottle placed against his crotch, but this is an advertisement for a fully nude "gentleman's" club - I don't think a little innuendo is out of the question, especially considering the line from the article that children probably wouldn't "get" its real meaning.
  • joessandwich, on 02/07/2008, -8/+2That's what I like about the media in the UK.... they write about something offensive, yet they still show it so you can make up your own mind. In America, the original poster would have never been shown.
    • CaitSith4343, on 02/07/2008, -1/+3Keep in mind that this is in The Sun, and you see all kinds of pictures like that in American tabloids. Its true that this wouldn't be printed in respectable American newspaper, but I doubt you'd see it in their UK equivalents either. Although you might catch a gander of some revealing knickers or petticoats.
    • bxblox, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1knickers and petticoats?
    • AzureRise, on 02/07/2008, -0/+2Are you kidding me? Have you ever watched Faux News? They'll talk about how something is completely offensive then show a 2 minute clip of it. *****, they've shown clips of Girls Gone Wild on Faux that show even more than the actual Girls Gone Wild commercial.
  • digitallysick, on 02/07/2008, -1/+7This isn't "raunchy" at all, wtf... lame
  • GoKings, on 02/07/2008, -2/+17More American FASCISM! Watch out, the next Hitler is on your doorstep!

    Wait a second.... This is the UK? :pause: Well then, this is just ridiculous.
  • spidamonkey, on 02/07/2008, -0/+22I wish the strippers in my area looked like that, I'm lucky to find one that doesn't have a black-eye and a c-section scar
    • banmaster, on 02/07/2008, -0/+14Or a penis.
      • rootneg2, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1wait a minute....

        What kind of bar is this anyhow?
    • BlackMask, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3you sound like you're living in the wrong place. come to manhattan, NYC
      • spidamonkey, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3I was in Vegas for CES last month, best strippers I've ever seen
  • jaromir68, on 02/07/2008, -4/+5Wow. Was that ever airbrushed /Photoshop'ed. If that sounds like my girlfriend, digg me down.
  • hurben, on 02/07/2008, -2/+5Women in the UK are frickin' huge!!
  • blitzer, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3The add has been removed.. but the Sun probably put this on its front page.
    • Hincapie, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1if this happened in america eighteen people would have been sued, protesters would be standing outside the club, the club owner would claim first amendment rights, but the brits just apologize, take it down, and all is well. ??
  • FriedTurkey, on 02/07/2008, -5/+7Inaccurate. British women never have straight teeth.
    • Merrick178, on 02/07/2008, -7/+5At least fat ass Americans can be relied on to be at their PCs posting about the British people's teeth though.
      • positron, on 02/07/2008, -3/+1At least fat ass Americans can be relied on to be at their PCs posting about fat ass British people's teeth though.

  • funsutton, on 02/07/2008, -11/+1Anyone who denies the sexual overtones is lying. It's not just a foaming bottle of champagne...
    • Merrick178, on 02/07/2008, -1/+10Actually it LITERALLY is a bottle of champagne and a scantily clad woman opening it. Anything else you may see is the result of your sick and perverted mind, I'm sure.
  • LordSubtle, on 02/07/2008, -2/+5She can pop my cork

    What's next? More 'reputable' sites like National Enquirer?

    face/palm
  • Merrick178, on 02/07/2008, -2/+7I'm a little more concerned with the endless stream of tampon, viagra, herpes, prostate, and lube related ads I see on tv... Not some legally fully covered girl opening a bottle of champagne.
    • digindrivefast, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1Tampons are required. TV is not...
  • ryanonfire, on 02/07/2008, -1/+3thesun? really who cares
  • toomanytuxedos, on 02/07/2008, -4/+1Hah, good thing this didn't happen in the states. A crapload of lawsuits would have been taken out, protests etc. Heck, this poster wouldn't have ever made it up to begin with. You guys over in the UK don't know how good you've got it.
  • shadowblade989, on 02/07/2008, -0/+2Never mind the posters in mainland European countries with topless women.
  • BAiT, on 02/07/2008, -1/+0but if they admit that children wouldn't "get it" they can't scream "THINK OF THE CHILDREN"
  • caffeineboy, on 02/07/2008, -1/+3OOPS! I just spilled champanye...ALL OVER your boobs...
  • stevey5036, on 02/07/2008, -1/+2This is me not caring.

  • JohnPocket, on 02/07/2008, -1/+1I'll take the girl, the bottle of champagne, and the poster that's obviously not being used anymore...
  • 100Slinky, on 02/07/2008, -3/+1"showed a scantily-clad model holding a foaming bottle of champagne with its cork flying through the air."

    What else is champagne supposed to do? This is in Britain? Good grief, no wonder they're our war partners. Just as ***** up as the US.
  • Jaxtheripper, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1I thought the expression was patting your head and rubbing your stomach. Not patting your head and jerking off a win bottle.
    I know which one i like better though...
  • sporg, on 02/07/2008, -4/+1More ridiculous censorship thanks to the American religious right. Bunch of inbred lunatics.
