Does this sexually explicit advertising go too far?

Here’s something to think about this weekend…
Does this Advertising campaign go too far? Many Germans think so.
My personal opinion is:
Who cares? I’m unlikely to be offended by any form of sexual fantasy unless it involves unwilling parties, violence or children etc.
My problem with it is: It’s just plain ineffective, who knows, cares, or remembers the product supposedly being promoted?
So, regardless of how much “shock horror” free publicity is generated by the inevitable self appointed, morally indignant watch dogs (that really was unintentional), the product doesn’t benefit.
What do you think? leave a comment.
What IS the product?
Yes I spotted the tiny “international lifestyle magazine” like but I’m no wiser as to what that is… incredibly pointless ad.
Oh, those crazy Germans….definitely shocking, but again, kinda, no, make that really pointless….I am sure there are people out there (I’m not judging) that would be drawn to this type of advertising, but its not for me and I would not even pursue the mystery, because there are some things I would prefer to remain naive about….call me old fashioned….
