Dakota Fanning Perfume Ad: Banned in the UK!
The UK is not LOLing over Lola.
Dakota Fanning has joined the famous likes of Beyonce, Christy Turlington, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie by having a provocative ad campaign banned in Britain.
The nation's media elites decreed that Marc Jacobs' latest fragrance ad featuring Fanning cannot be displayed, as it fosters too "sexually provocative" an image:
They made the decision after deciding that the imagery was inappropriate and receiving complaints about the ad, which has actually been out since June.
The 17-year-old is seen wearing a short, girly nude colored dress, provocatively holding a bottle of Jacobs' Oh, Lola! perfume between her upper thighs.
The ad appeared in several magazines and newspaper supplements across the U.K., and yielded enough complaints from offended readers to force action.
Some complained that the ad is "irresponsible" and portrayed the Breaking Dawn actress in "a sexualized manner." Well, yeah, if you wanna get technical.
Does that mean it should be banned, though? Vote below:

I don't think I would want to buy a perfume that smells like Dekota Fanning's crotch. That is the imagery the picture generates to me. I can see why the Brits complained. Yuck!

I don't see what is wrong with the ad. Anyone who is finds it sexually provocative has really dirty mind. I personally don't think it is sexual but may I am just clueless.

I think it's pretty and feminine :) I see nothing wrong with it, it's basically like eveything else out there these days except i think this is done classier. Again, very pretty..
