On the other hand, if it was understood, the juxtaposition of a pole dancer and family life would have been treated as ironically inovative -- But then again, there still would have been complaints from women who publicly drool over Victoria Beckham’s husband’s package but declare anything even mildly erotic to men as “sexist.”

Please Helen, why don’t you share with us some of these remarkable ‘studies’ you’re privy to which support your “argument: (if you can call it that). I’d be very interested to read them – linking a direct coronation between showing a woman in underwear in a commercial with sexual abuse in… the Northern Territory was it? That’s astonishing. Just think what must have happened when people first laid eyes on the Sistine Chapel in Rome, or David! Actual penis’s being carved in 3 dimensions for all to see! Why… there must have been sodomy in the streets that day.

Your need to use insults AND CAPS because you aren’t enlightened enough to structure a rational argument, simply proves my point: You’re a Neanderthal. Now, go finish your year 10 certificate, before you start worrying about what other people are watching on TV.

I could argue with folks like yourself about this stuff all day really – but at the end of the day it’s like trying to teach my dog a card trick. You just aren’t going to get it. So I’ll sign off here.

First of all, i could NOT care less what you say. WE all will take this futher, i already have contacted a few MPs about the ruling of this ad and the BIASNESS of the ASB BOARD, not to mention a system which is INCONSISTENT. I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT. OK???

Second -- We need to educate our kids about sex, NOT ENDORSE or PROMOTE the SEX INDUSTRY as a great career choice for our kids to pursue. What happened to respecting ourself and self worth?
There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in educating kids about sex workers…and ADVERTISERS USING THIS INDUSTRY TO GLORIFY THE PROFESSION…Just so they can get ‘SHOCK’ value. The media plays a big part in shaping kids attitudes and beliefs. There are many studies that support this theory.
So you can understand why a lot of parents are concerned and outraged about this ad and the ruling it was given from the ASB.

Why do we need to promote soft pornography in the mainstream media? Nandos, is NOT an brothel or strip club. It is compelely INAPPROPIATE. Society is so over obsessed with PORN. No wonder the NT, has sexually abused kids, not only due to alcohol, but the NORMALITY of easy PORN access and the view that PORN is GOOD and is for all ages.
Do you see where i am going with this. This t.v ad is a beginning of a new age, where Soft PORN will be seen as OK and normal for kids. THAT IS NOT ON!! WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR KIDS FROM PREDITORS LIKE YOURSELF.
