Object to Suit Supply which offers pornography along with its suits

[franch]

See Suit Supply - these images are displayed as posters in Suit Supply stores in the UK (including Westfield and Regent Street).

For more info and to object, visit this site.

Totally missed the point.
It's kind of cringey to see

ASA, as predicted, won't do anything.

Reply from Westfield:

"Thank you for your email regarding Suit Supply.

Westfield takes seriously customer concerns and the need for customers to have an enjoyable experience when they visit our centres.

Retailers in our centre are responsible for their advertising and in-store campaigns which in most cases, they will roll out nationally in all their stores. With regards to the current advertising campaign being run by Suits Supply, Westfield London has approached the retailer to request the immediate removal of the images which have caused offence to our customers.

We assure you that we are continuing to pursue the matter to a satisfactory conclusion."

I have that one too.
Great stuff, assuming they make it happen and SleazySuits don't get back to them and say 'you can't make us, there's nothing about it in our contract', etc etc.
It will cause major inconvenience for them in the run up to Xmas and hopefully make them think twice about shock campaigns in future....

I've just had the same response as Franch. At least Westfield seem prepared to do something so that's good news. Thank you Westfield!

[JessinAvalon]

Oh yes, and that blogger is just so cool....way to go to stick it to the prudes....

[sethstarkaddersmum]

thing is Jess, she's just so much more intelligent and sophisticated than all the thick mummies. Libertarians usually are you know.

[Beachcomber]

Gosh that blog is a load of upitself twaddle.

Said blogger is obviously far too cool and hip and with it to be in a flap over something like blatant misogyny. Either that or is being a bit thick and clueless.

[wukter]

How cool and edgy to mock 'what about the children'.
Thing is the Simpsons made that joke 20 years ago.
If she gave it a minutes thought, and then disagreed with it, you'd have a bit of respect for that.

Something for the wank-end sir?

[sethstarkaddersmum]

AIBU to want to introduce party bags for royal banquets? My mum and dad have can do them at very reasonable rates, but GMIL thinks they are tacky.

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Or grasp even Sorry - couldn't resist!

I'm still waiting for my reply from Westfield . At least they do appear to be dealing with the issue.

[sethstarkaddersmum]

aargh, wrong thread!
have never done that before in years of posting

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Wrong thread Seth! (unless said party bags are going to feature pornographic pictures - now there's something I'd like to see )

[sethstarkaddersmum]

you mean like the coffee one?
my favourite way to read the image is that she is so bored with sex that she is making a game of it to see if she can drink her coffee while he shags her without spilling a drop. Message: bad lovers wear SleazySuit suits!

[sethstarkaddersmum]

of course you realise that if you do that SleazySuits will want to photograph the actual shooting for their next shock campaign?
pools of blood and everything, preferably guts too - very artistic doncha know.

[JessinAvalon]

Yes, I thought the same one about the coffee drinking photo! 'You enjoy yourself darling but I'm just going to finish my cup of coffee. Don't disturb me too much because otherwise I'll spill my drink! And let me know when you're done." So aspirational!

And yes, that blogger is obviously way more intelligent than us dimwitted Mumsnetters because she can see the irony in the misogyny whereas we just see the misoygny.

[JessinAvalon]

Misogyny.....see I knew I wasn't very clever....

[Beachcomber]

The question is, of course, is murder cooler than misogyny?

[Sakura]

Have sent a letter

[Maisiethemorningsidecat]

Or perhaps they mean that they make great coffin suits?
