And I'm sure the advertisers take that into account. That's why in the UK the online stores digitally remove the people from the pictures so that you have pictures of the garments hanging in mid-air as if being worn by the invisible woman.
And why in China they don't.
Personally I feel that the UK has (temporarily I hope) got its knickers rather badly in a twist over the portrayal of children in images. As Bunthorne said "honi soit qui mal y pense". China has yet to succumb to the pædo-hysteria.

I think I'd write a rude letter to the Marco Polo Club were CX ever to follow Southwest's example on something like this.
Note that when she sits down you can see her knickers.

Well, it was new to me.
One of my fondest flight memories is of being a hormonal 17 year old on an eight hour flight from Barbados, and sat across the aisle from a milf wearing a bright pink PVC dress and yellow stilettoes, which she kept on the whole time. No AVOD required.

Now I'm not accusing anyone of being a monster, rather that in these politically correct times, there seems to be a paranoia about being SEEN to NOT be a paedophile. But I find the almost Mary Whitehouse-style outrage to be wholly unfounded.
.
I think, if you have female children in a time like this ( and HK is one of the safest places I have been so far), then theres no Mary about it. I can assure you, I'm not worried about whether you think I;m a paedophile or not, I just think its wrong to be advertising teen underwear on a little girl made up to look adult-like.
Physical pubescent development has nothing to do with marketing, it happens to everyone, and most of us got through it without being bombarded with images like this. By that, i mean, my mother knew exactly where to buy me what i needed, and that was the end of it.
In the end, each to their own. What i would expect to happen is that parents ( i.e. the ones with the actual spending power) just boycott such ridiculous advertising by shopping somewhere else.

I was a paedophile when I was 12.
Sabrina, don't just stare at it. Eat it.
