First of all, I live in Belgium, Europe. About 2 years ago, there was an exhibition about Araki (a Japanese photographer) here at Le Musée de La Photographie (the museum has a great reputation for the collections/exhibitions they show).

There was a promotional panel that showed a picture. You can see it here ( warning contains nudity ) francoisquinqua.blog.lemonde.fr/2006/09/26/2006_09_araki_charleroi/
Sorry the article is in French. To be short, someone has thrown 2 Molotov cocktails to the panel. And as  you can see, it's more that a guy losing her pants here.

I'm more shocked by the fact that someone has thrown 2 bombs at the panel than by the picture itself.

We are lucky, we live in democratic countries and we are able to have that kind of discussion.
What is it acceptable in advertising/art ?
In some countries you can be sentenced to death for having some "immoral thoughts".

So, just take some minutes and think what is acceptable for you and ask your neighbours what they think to be acceptable. The key is the compromise. Of course, art is there to make you think and/or react.

The ad ( here in your country/state ) has fulfilled its contract. We speak about the company, shop and the clothes. One point for the ad.

But don't forget what the old wise man once said :

"My Freedom stops where other's  Freedom starts"
