Lolita, light of my life, fire of my obscenely high-cut denim short-clad loins ... A decade ago, ads for Calvin Klein jeans were banned for their overtly sexualized depictions of scantily clad pubescent models; this week, Australia's Advertising Standards Board has given a new barely legal-flavored ad campaign for Lee jeans shot by Terry Richardson the go-ahead for display on public billboards. What's changed in the interim? Apparently, the board decided that "the woman is over 18, is fully clothed in attire that is fashionable amongst young women for summer, and that there is no nudity", and went on to decree that "consumption of this style of lollipop is now common amongst people over 18". Wait, lollipops aren't just for kids anymore? Guess that makes all the difference!
