Nothing wrong!

There is nothing wrong with the ad. Should you not like it, merely turn the page or turn away. There is no law that says you must look at it.
By the same token, if there is somthing on TV just turn it off if it excites you unexpectedly.
Each person is equipped with reason. He or she should deal with ads of this nature in his or her own way.

Okay...and after you tear it down, you will probably hang it on the ceiling above your bed. Get over yourself!!

Edgy, perfectly fine and obviously attention-getting advertising. So nice to see a male model versus a female model. A work of art in my view, but I value the ancient sculptures, statues and art of the Greeks and Romans too.

While one may dislike how A&F markets its company, lumping this photo, or any photo in their store, in with porn is idiotic, disingenuous and petty. Anyone that does has obviously never viewed true pornography.

Looks like this model is working hard to keep very fit!!! I bet this guy who is putting up a big stink is jealous and fat! Come on people....the human body is a beautiful thing!

Tacky and distasteful, yes, but not enough to get worked up over. A&F redefined themselves from a stuffy camping goods store to a youth-oriented clothing store by just this thing, and it worked for them. From a marketing standpoint, why would they even consider toning it down ? I think Victoria's Secret windows are just as provocative.

This is another example of our society not having any moral standards and exposing our children at too young of an age. The next picture they post he will be totally nude.

Actually, no, this is just another example of how sexually repressed and backward-thinking our society is. Go put on your burka and live in the Middle East if you don't like it. The human body is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

The protester is obviously a closeted homosexual, frustrated by all of the hot young men in the world he cannot have. All of the things in the world that you could speak out against, and this is what you choose? Thousands of people who would have never seen this ad are now familiar with it thanks to him. A&F sales at this store will probably increase as a result of his "protest."
