No probs, but I was actually unaware the two threads were related.

I could spout volumes of shite about this; it clearly /has/ already
had significant detrimental effect last few decades; it clearly is not
just bikini girls but six pack blokes too; blaming those who use it
will not help; blaming those who respond neither; changing attitudes
though education seems a loser too. If I was forced to offer opinion
(so anyone of a nervous disposition switch channels now) I would say
that such adverts should be /carefully/ taxed to make them no more
effective than, erm, plaintext ones, god knows how to make any ruling
on or enforce that, but I cannot think of anything better to do.
I am not shy about liking the sight of naked flesh, nor should anyone
be, but anyone worried that we are being subtly manipulated on a daily
basis by people who know that, should really panic over the long-term
effects of having our daily dose of (semi-)nudity selected for us.
Don't quote me on that.
