Naked behind is a bum joke.......

Sorry, can't post te picture :)The question is, Is there room for sexist adverts in today's enlightened society ?

The scantily-clad bottom with the slogan 'On Special Offer' has been named the most degrading advertisement of the year by the Guard Dogs, a French and Swiss feminist association.

The ad by Swiss underwear giant Sloggi was given the award for promoting pornography and prostitution.

The group gave the prize for 'gratuitous nudity that has nothing to do with the product' to Italian company Lavazza, for a picture of a naked woman on all-fours used to sell its coffee.

And a special award for the most sexist image of 2008 was given to car giant Renault for an advert showing a man and woman in bed, with him reading a magazine about the new Clio hatchback and her reading a baby magazine.

Underneath was the slogan, 'Good things come in pairs'.

The Guard Dogs group – which has been giving the awards to the advertising industry for eight years – also hands out gold, silver and bronze ’Macho medals’ for the most sexist remarks made by men.

Paris Archbishop Monseigneur Vingt-Trois won first prize for his comments about the problem of recruiting more women into the church.

He said: “The most difficult thing is finding women who are well-educated.

“It’s not enough just to be wearing a skirt, they also need something between their ears as well.”

The silver medal went to French comedian Fabrice Eboue for remarking on stage: “Feminism is not just for authoritarian or sexually frustrated women, it’s also for lesbians.”

The bronze medal went to French publisher Frangois Cavanna, for a foul-mouthed tirade against US secretary of state Hillary Clinton and French socialist politician Segolene Royal.

Cavanna said after learning of his 'prize': “I’m very disappointed. I was hoping to win the gold.”

I don't think these adverts are sexist or degrading to women. They are supposed be fun.

I really enjoyed the advert of David Beckham in his undies and that picture of Daniel Craig in his Speedos (well hold me down).

I think these women should get a life. HOW boring would life be if it was all cute babies and flowers?

My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.

Agree with you seth, why are they giving that importance to it ?

Lol, i enjoyed the end: "Cavanna said after learning of his 'prize': “I’m very disappointed. I was hoping to win the gold.”
