Some said that the ads may have been “harmful and offensive” because they “objectified women by sexualizing them and reducing them to body parts,” per the ASA. Complainants also questioned whether the posters, which were displayed in public places, were appropriate for...

They’ve tried everything from retro’ing classic silhouettes from OG’s NBA players like Shaquille O’Ne...
