New Australian ad campaign for supermodel Elle Macphersons lingerie line, called Elle Macpherson Intimates, has been actively criticized and caused many complaints. The ad, showing bodies of two sexy models in a kitchen, wielding knives at each other, was called
beautifully haunting and ambiguous by Macpherson. But Liz Longhurst, whose daughter Jane was killed by a necrophilia obsessed man, believes the ad should be banned as it connects sex
with violence, saying that the picture of a faceless woman, clutching a knife, in titillating
underwear could easily become a distorted fantasy for some , reports Adrants.
This is not the first time the 41-year-old supermodel purposefully causes controversy. In March, a magazine ad for
her lingerie line featuring a keyhole view of a model, dressed in a bra and panties, with her
thumbs inside the panties, was banned by the Advertising Standards Agency and labeled
offensive due to some claims that the model was masturbating.
And even if is almost impossible to masturbate using thumbs and theres no reported case of death caused by self-pleasing, the last Macphersons campaign has gone a little too far by making knife wielding look sexy.
