Rogue! This Rihanna advert is considered ‘sexually suggestive’

In a country where there is barely any restrictions on pornography, Rihanna’s advertising poster for her perfume, Rogue, has been declared ─ now this is incredible ─ “suggestive”.

The British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has therefore ruled that the poster must not be displayed where children are likely to see it (that should be moon or Mars, right?)

In the poster, all you see is the typical Rihanna – barely covering anything. It does not even look as naked as you see in her videos, which children are allowed to watch.

The poster shows Rihanna sitting on the floor with her legs raised against a giant bottle of Rogue scent.

And, good enough, Parlux Fragrances said the nudity was not “improper” and the image was not “offensive, suggestive or demeaning”.

By the way, how can a nude Rihanna be improper?

ASA agreed with Parlux Fragrances that Rihanna was mainly covered and had a facial expression “of defiance rather than vulnerability” but added: “While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna’s pose, with her legs raised in the air, was provocative.

“Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to be naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad was sexually suggestive and should have been given a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children.”

We think that in a normal world, a properly dressed Rihanna should be considered “offensive, suggestive or demeaning”.
