After being published last month in three Italian magazines, the country's advertising watchdog, the Institute for Advertising Self-Discipline (IAP) has banned Tom Ford Eyewear ads. This specific image, showing a sunglasses-wearing woman with a man's finger in her mouth was ruled "markedly vulgar" because the "scene evokes an offending and abusive act against women, which degrades the dignity of the person." On the Tom Ford website, the entire collection of Spring 2008 ads are acknowledged to be sexually explicit.
You can find the ad plastered on billboards all over Los Angeles. It’s hard to miss the one on Sunset, just West of Sunset Plaza, as most of the billboards in that area are currently advertising designer sunglasses.
For all the sexually explicit images, check out the Tom Ford website: http://www.tomford.com/en/
