There is something very wrong with this Agent Provocateur advert

Just seen this and its made me feel very uncomfortable, what do you think?

Totally agree, horrible advert with a sinister mesage

wow. just...wow. that is really unpleasant.

Jesus, I almost had a heart attack when the mannequins first appeared behind the window.

Yep, it's crap and vaguely disturbing.

I've just registered a complaint with the ASA

Well it wouldn't tempt me to buy any new knickers I must say. It strikes me as being 'stupid for the sake of it' ie a lot of art school wank.
And the underwear isn't very nice, either. You can get better in Ann Summers for a tenth of the price (should you want that sort of underwear.)

Nearly had heart attack when mannequins first appeared as had volume on too loud! but the whole thing is dreadful, why the cheap, tacky degreading poses by the women, just leaves an unpleasant taste in your mouth! Yuk!

That is very very scary. I really jumped!

It looks like the intro to a BDSM porn film, and the window thing made me jump, too.

Agent Provocateur have always got my feminist hackles up - all that "overpriced porno-underwear is SO empowering" bollocks.

I watched scream last night first few minutes was reminiscent of that.

Ew. At best this is tacky and unpleasant, at worst very sinister. Can't say I've ever bought anything from there, but this certainly wouldn't make me want to now.

Admittedly my heart is pounding and I'm cross that it frightened me so badly but what the FUCK was that?!

Just think about it - someone had to write that, storyboard it, submit it to a whole board of people who greenlit it, they had to run it by the people who financed it, they would have had loads of 'creative' meetings about it where they got creative with marker pen. Then they had to film it, produce it, market it, probably market research it, etc etc.

Hundreds of people, involved in every stage of this 'advert', and no-one thought to say 'hang about, this is disturbing? Fucking hell. Fuck. Ing. Hell.

I have several things from there an am aware that he tries to be 'out there' in his ads but feel this is too far

WTF?!!

LOL - "our underwear will scare the shit out of you" I'm sure that will make people want to buy from Agent Provocateur. Women need to take note of the message.

It was a man who came up with it and directed it surprise, surprise.

It's also not remotely erotic - it just seems cold and creepy.

I especially hate the beginning bit where she is on the phone...look how getting dodgy phone calls can turn women on and get their nipples erect. I can see people will take notice but for all the wrong reasons, at no point in that advert did I even look at the underwear.

Is there no actual limit to these tossers?

If someone went and painted "woman-haters" on the windows of Agent Provacteur in Soho, they wouldn't be far wrong.

what a load of ridiculous shit.

The women look like blow up dolls - so expressionless. Not remotely sexy. Reminds me of that rap video form a few months ago where the women all looked dead...

So very very passive....

Appalling.

Thankfully no sound card here, but the images were extremely disturbing. Do they really think this advert will get people to buy their knicks? I mean yeah, a load of arthouse wank, but will it actually shift the product? I don't think so.

"There's something very wrong" is the fucking understatement of the year!
