This is one step closer to Eurabia, since using pretty women to promote perfume and clothing is banned in places like Saudi Arabia too!
Do present day politicians know how to do anything else other than ban and restrict? Why don’t they get on with the substantive issues, and solve the REAL problems facing us?
But then they are too cowardly for that, aren’t they? - ©Mark
THE TELEGRAPH: Adverts which use sex to sell or promote gender stereotypes could be banned by the EU.
MEPs want TV regulators in the EU to set guidelines which would see the end of anything deemed to portray women as sex objects or reinforce gender stereotypes.
This could potentially mean an end to attractive women advertising perfume, housewives in the kitchen or men doing DIY.
Such classic adverts as the Diet Coke commercial featuring the bare-chested builder, or Wonderbra's "Hello Boys" featuring model Eva Herzigova would have been banned.
The new rules come in a report by the EU's women's rights committee.
Swedish MEP Eva-Britt Svensson urged Britain and other members to use existing equality, sexism and discrimination laws to control advertising.
She wants regulatory bodies set up to monitor ads and introduce a "zero-tolerance" policy against "sexist insults or degrading images". EU Wants to Ban 'Sexist' TV Commercials >>> By Chris Irvine | September 5, 2008
