It begins.
No, now it ends.
To be honest, I wouldnt mind a little more modesty in advertisements.
Obviously I dont wanna take away women's individual rights to dress as they choose... But on billboards and commercials, etc? I honestly think we do put too much sex in them tbh. So whatever.
Body shaming and he is a father of 2 teenagers. What are you really upset about? Do you pay attention to ads or something? :roll:
The takeover is coming. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives :hammerhead:

Banning depictions of healthy people promoting healthy eating and physical fitness has nothing to do with body shaming and doesn't seem very productive for a society with a giant growing obesity problem.
Body shaming would be showing fat people with a caption "you don't want to be a disgusting pig like this, join Muscle Gym today!". Or for instance [URL="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/media/images/80435000/jpg/_80435505_021772928-1.jpg"]this[/URL] is a method of body shaming widely practiced in the UK.
Promoting fitness and health should be a no-brainer in today's society. It seems insane that multiple power blocks in society seem to be pushing against promoting fitness, for a variety or reasons apparently.
'Body shaming' :oldlol:
Jealousy at its finest.
british women are the fattest and ugliest ones in Europe
I bet they most of them would take a burka over bikini at this point

He is one man of Muslim heritage mind you making the decision for the entire city. He is stifling free speech and free enterprise and using some of the laws of Shariah to do so.
This is wrong on so many levels. But that's what you get when you combine Religion and State as most Muslim countries do.

Is it undemocratic? Yes
Is it wrong on many levels? No. You'll have to explain how Pete.
Here's my ethical take on it. Challenge me.
A) God commanded a certain dress and modesty for women in all phases of time in all scriptures, having billboards are flat out disobedience to His commands and disgrace. By default we have a duty to obey the One who creates us and be mindful of Him.
B) It dishonor the human aspect of women. Women are human beings with minds characters souls spirits and all that comes with that. They shouldn't be gawked at like a tiger salivating on a deer.
C) It excites the carnal passions of man at the detriment of his real human potential that is in developmentally his intellect to do good works on Earth.
D) It stunts man's growth and potential. The most virtuous smartest, strongest men I know, historically, grew up in all Boys schools or All Male Academies without their eyes constantly being distracted by things like pornography. They honed their senses and sexual drives into becoming better men in all aspects. From the monks in India to Napoleon Hill to Tesla to Newton.
1) NOT A SINGLE ONE OF US. Are going to look back on our lives when we die and regret not having stared at the pic with the bikini.
E) It reduces the desirability of an aging wife who ideally should have all the love and attention seeing as how SHE was the one who stuck by the guy for that long and be a red his children etc.
F) The resources used for the billboard could assuredly have been allocated in a better way. Charity. Orphans. Water for human life. Education. Etc.
G) For the person speaking of health and fitness (who has shown an awful lack of compassion at those prone to gaining weight) no one would be obese if they obeyed the other commands of God to begin with (fasting diligence and avoiding foods refined and tampered) Since when would advertisements help? A more efficient allocation of resources would be to provide nutrient dense satiating food in the FIRST PLACE or making organic choices less expensive.
2) anybody who had problems with something is likely aware of it and can expend effort to rectify It. They need not feel shame over and over again.

Agreed. My original response was to the concept in the title of the OP, which I presumed was more about these Calvin Klein billboards you see with virtually naked women (or men) in extremely sexually suggestive positions. Which I could do with less of in public.
Then I read that his beef was with fitness models in bikinis promoting weight loss and that the issue was about body shaming and I immediately went :facepalm

Dude, it's the 21st century. Humanity has free-will and old myths are just that, old myths.
If you follow the Ten Commandments, then you're alright by my book. But a Religion or a form of Government that decides on what I can and cannot wear is just plain wrong.
Middle Eastern women are very beautiful and exotic, and it's a shame that they have to be covered from head to toe because of some 5th century doctrine.
Are they going to replace the ads with obese people or what?
I'm sorry, but if you're obese, society should shame you. People should not feel it's acceptable to be unhealthy and obese.
