I saw that the UK banned this photo...

It took me awhile to see the meaning in the photo. But I had to share. I love pop culture

 

[Blah11]

idk if its intentional or just happened to be put there.

 

[karlilay]

Im thick as hell... so please point out the obvious.

Im confused! Is it because she's got a flower sprouting from her crotch?

 

[bartlettpear]

She is holding the perfume with flower over her lady parts

 

[nikkip75]

lol I've seen things 10x worse than this in advertising! Is it banned in the uk or just USA?

 

[nikkip75]

Sorry just reread it has been banned in the uk, ridiculous!

 

[Miss_Bump]

Erm, what am i missing?

Im tired and this pic looks normal

 

[MrsPoodle]

Oh ffs that's ridiculous!

 

[Baby France]

I can't see why they'd ban it? We can have photos and videos of pop stars gyrating and stimulating sex but we can't have a picture of a lady with a bottle of perfume with flower over her foof?!

Backwards coming forwards us lot!

 

[Blah11]

It's sexualising a child apparently.

 

[RileysMummy]

My eyes! My poor eyes!

Seriously wtf is wrong with that pic? Sexualising a child? Have they not seen Dakota in The Runaways, that is sexy and i'm sure she's perfectly fine with it.

Uk

xxx

 

[Baby France]

Maybe its just me but thats one old looking child. About 19/20 I think?

 

[RileysMummy]

She's 17 x

 

[bartlettpear]

Yeah, I dont know why it would be banned... there are definitely worse things out there. But, it really took me some time to see the 'naughty' in it. But, I mean... our girly parts DO sorta look like flowers, so its not that naughty

 

[bumpy_j]

nah I dunno it made me feel a bit funny, but I thought it was Elle Fanning at first (who's like 13), she looks a lot younger than 17, but she's legal sooooooo they shouldn't really censor it

 

[~RedLily~]

I don't see the problem tbh

 

[morri]

Is she still a child? i thought she was already about 20?Okay so she isnt but she is 17. There are child stars that should be forbidden but she looks reasonable.

 

[amie-leigh]

wow they banned that but some of the music videos we have are a lot worse
if i seen that photo advertising perfume or something similar a rude thought wouldn't even enter my head

 

[AshleighR]

I thought she was great when she was younger but now I really can't bring myself to watch any of her newer movies, or her sister's - though I've only seen Elle in two things, Daddy Day Care and the two episodes of Criminal Minds she was in.

As far as the picture...I've seen worse but I understand banning it as she is still a minor.
