Fundies: Bath & Body Works are PORNOGRAPHERS !!!!
:rofl: Sweet Jesus these people are nuts.....



from the extra-batty American Family Association:



Bath & Body Works new ad is appalling!

OMM typically focuses on issues that air on television, but there is one other issue we cannot ignore: ads of naked ladies in mail-out coupons and giant posters in malls. Next time you stop by Bath & Body Works to purchase soap, you will get much more than you bargained for and not in a good way. This is not somewhere you would want to walk by or visit with your children, your teen son or your husband. To be bombarded with a poster of a nude woman pictured with her privates meticulously covered while you are shopping is not okay!

Malls, where teens hang out and families go for an innocent outing, have retailers whose window displays poison our children with 10-foot posters that are nothing but soft p*rn. In particular, Bath & Body Works has a new ad campaign with a naked woman with certain areas covered up by her hands and legs. (An asterisk '*' is used to bypass internet filters.)

Their website has this same ad, but has cut off the bottom (pun intended)! If you are on their mailing list this ad was sent to your home in the form of a coupon. Now they are guilty of sending soft p*rn directly into your home.

OMM visited the store to witness the magnitude of the posters displayed to gain firsthand knowledge of this inappropriate ad campaign. OMM felt extremely uncomfortable without children in tow. Posters were in windows, huge displays throughout store and behind the checkout counter. Every time you turned around there "she" was!

1. I'm disgusted at the thought of women bathing naked.
They should be wearing full body bathing costumes.

4. Or at least those Mormon pajamas
We all need to have a healthy shame for our bodies.

18. That won't help -- they'd still be naked underneath the costumes.
And just think: our malls nationally are just FILLED with people who are naked under their clothes!

Something should be done about this.

14. I'd rather have more Goldman Sachs than more FRCs.
Goldman Sachs people just want more money.

These people are just plain evil.

17. Please don't. Fucking them will only encourage them
The proper response is to IGNORE them. Wildmon's the second-worst publicity whore in America. He's got a HUGE mailing list, and probably three-quarters of it is comprised of people who are on it for the inadvertent humor in his ravings. (I'm one of them.) If we were to ignore Wildmon, Phelps and whoever's funding Pensacola Christian College, they'd evaporate.

8. This is precisely why I always wear an extra pair of underwear
That way I won't be naked underneath my clothes! I want my privates meticulously covered and then some, just like the American Family Association would want. And you lot of free love libertines, remember: It's not enough to have your privates "meticulously" covered. You're expected to do more! What, I'm not sure, but that's the bear* minimum.

*Alternate spelling of "that word" used to bypass internet filters.

13. Naked? How naked?
This is outrageous.

I demand to see just exactly HOW naked they are. Is there a paysite I can subscribe to? Discreet mail packages? Phone-in services?

Thank you, AFM, for bringing this to my attention. Now I've got to go... er, take a shower because of all the filthyness I've been forced to think about.

16. Nothing worse than walking by or visiting soft p*rn with my husband.
Just the thought of it makes me want to get out the lye soap for a good scrubbin'.

24. that's not being Prude... That's being sexually neurotic and oppressed
Edited on Fri Jun-04-10 06:15 PM by fascisthunter
people need to tell them in a unified voice that they need therapy and to keep their personal issues to themselves and leave the rest of us alone!

I prefer giving them a good ass kicking, but that would make a bad liberal I suppose.

I'm going straight to the mall tonight to witness the magnitude of this problem. I'll need to do some extensive research, so I'll probably be there until closing time.

29. I just called Bath and Body Works and asked them to send me
a framed reproduction of the ad. Clearly, the perverts over at the AFA are desperately seeking some controversy on which to launch a fundraising appeal.
