Sexy Ads Upset The Pope


Warning-You May Find This Post Offensive


(TREND HUNTER) Sex has been used to sell for decades, but in recent years, some companies have really cranked up the raciness in their ads, raising a lot of controversy. That's the whole point of ads though; if it gets people talking, it's doing exactly what it's meant to be doing: raising brand awareness.
The latest in buzzworthy ads is the new Equinox Fitness ad campaign, “Happily Ever.” One image features a group of nuns (one revealing a sexy garter!) sketching a still life portrait of a very chiseled, naked model who looks much like Michelangelo’s David. Judging by their facial expressions, they’re quite amused by the features of their manly muse.

Not so amused, however is the Catholic church.
