Well, my take is that some found it offensive and for that I cannot call them prudes. Sure, to go to the lowest common demoninator is not right but neither is the company for doing just beyond the edge of what is considered normal acceptable for all ages in the country in which they do this advertising for the most part.  They look for sensational and they get it.

I just wish they would turn down the music a bit in their stores.  The images do not offend me but it is a direct push based on the even "prudish" standards of this country.   Agree or not, they are trying to push the limits within thier particular culture here.
