A big difference between Southern and Northern European attitudes
The advertisement below would not raise a single eyebrow North of the Rhine
A Sequence featuring female buttocks in a TV commercial for Croatian tourism has been hastily removed after it sparked the ire of Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor and women's rights groups.
Kosor declared the three-second sequence of a sunbathing girl "sexist" when the tourist board presented the ad to the government at the weekend. The 30-second spot had already been seen on CNN, BBC and other stations worldwide.
Women's groups also slammed the commercial as promoting "sex tourism".
Croatia is an increasingly popular tourist destination and millions visit the country's Adriatic [Mediterranean] coast every year.

An odd thing: That looks like a British flag on the woman's bikini. The idea would seem to be that it's NOT about Croatian women.

Especially in the UK it would now be banned.
After all, they're now starting to demand women dress in burqah when in the pool there :(
Slow news day?
Sex Tourism? I guess guys in Croatia never actually marry beautiful wives or have beautiful girlfriends who enjoy a day on the beach.....

7:10 PM - very amusing - but like saying russians are often seen having sex with bears.

They arent'?
Wow - Jay stretches a poorly seen design on a bikini to conflate Croatia with the UK in yet another of his obvious on-going anti-British onslaughts which he provokes with the headings he selects to negatively refer to Britain or British; but doesn't do the same when it concerns the US. One wonders if this is some anti-colonial response (re Australia and the US)- like a kid resents his/her parents.
As an editor, he is also clearly anti-gay/homosexual - so one can conclude the whole point of this site is to slam brits/french/europeans/leftits/democtats/atheists/homosexuals/feminists/etc, etc.
Hmm - I suppose as he's the "boss" here he can slap my comment down too, but as a declared advocate of free speech he cannot surely censor me, so maybe in an Orwellian way he will manage to both support my free speech and at the same time condemn my impertinence (PS: I've also read medieval history!).
And if they put a ripped male in the video, some would complain it's pandering to gays.
Come on people, the female form is beautiful and (most are) worthy of artistic prominence.

Since they're all one in the same, what's your point?
Remember, the 9/11 terrorists were able to easily and freely walk into this country because of our PC attitudes. They were also allowed to take flying lessons under what were clearly "very suspicious" circumstances without being questioned, again because of our PC mentality. (ie: take off but no landing instructions?)
Get a brain!
