Oh, Lola!, Marc Jacobs new line of perfume has come up with an ad featuring the 17 year old superb actress, Dakota Fanning (luv her!). From the ad, Dakota is holding a huge bottle of perfume between her legs. According to UK's Advertising Standards Authority, (ASA) they have received enough complaints regarding this ad. :P
This is what ASA had to say : "We noted that the model was holding up the perfume bottle which rested in her lap between her legs and we considered that its position was sexually provocative. We understood the model was 17 years old but we considered she looked under the age of 16. we considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualise a child."

personally, i dont see it as sexually provocative. i mean, knowing Dakota Fanning who starred in the movie, "I am Sam" and etc..., hasn't done any sexually explicit role on any movie.. well, none that i can think of. sometimes, its really the work of a dirty mind that makes it sexually provocative. i find this decision of ASA so rubbish! the ad was done in good taste! HELLO! :P
i'd like to know your opinion guys. :)
