I think they misheard their tutor from Advertising School, he said 'Sex sells' not
'Racism sells'!

They could have made a really raunchy advert

like this


White Is Back

yes well i suppose there would be colour contrast in that. anyway why didnt they just draw a psp with white chalk on a blackborad and shoved up the contrast. that would have sold.

Ehhh..wow very very bad move on their part. Of course they were probably too busy thinking about money too even see how this isn't a good way to advertise at the moment.

Dont find it offensive at all... like they said its to show the contrast of the colors... People are taking it wrong... They didnt intend to mean it in that manner so why should people take it in that manner? I mean once you think about it sure it could be offensive but i dont think they intended it to, So there for i have no reason to be offended...

Ya that's true I guess, It depends on how you see it, and of course nobody sees it the same.

I actually think the pictures are quite beautiful in their purest form. The models executed their expressions flawlessly.

After looking at the pics Dingaling provided, I am less offended....and yes, both models do look great.....but why did they have to use people?
