Hmmm. So Muslim left wing mayor has a problem with poster of women in Bikini.

Well it wasn't going to be long before Muslim attitudes started to pervade our society and the left wing love to pander to totally unrepresentative minorities don't they.

The only people who would be offended by such an ad are those on the extreme edges of society, like bonkers militant feminists, jealous bitter fatties and religious loons.

You voted for it. Well done.

"Nobody should feel pressurised, while they travel on the Tube or bus, into unrealistic expectations surrounding their bodies and I want to send a clear message to the advertising industry about this."

So presumably they're going to be consistent and not allow adverts for plastic surgery, teeth whitening, hair removal, hair replacement etc.

After all no one realistically expects a bald man to start regrowing hair.

Optimistic as ever

Good. Hopefully they will ban muscular men with nice suits from the train too then as that is an image I can never achieve.

Keep the tube for munters. When do we want it? Now.

Good point.

Further more. Even if the ads are cynical and unrealistic, surely it is role models that often encourage us to better ourselves.
Hollywood has been putting out unrealistic images for decades and yet they inspire some in positive ways albeit others less so.
Given that we have fat unhealthy people everywhere I would have thought that images of perfect bodies would do far more good than harm. Unless we want everyone to think that being obese is normal and acceptable.
There will always be those who become anorexic or bulimic with or with out posters, because that is generally a control issue rather than purely about appearance.
My guess is that it is more about politics than about health.

That's all vanity driven and for people with more money than sense.

We all hope our kids grow up to have enough self-esteem not to be bothered or influenced too much by 'the perfects' out there but when ads pound them with the not so subtle hidden message of 'this is how you should look', well, if it didn't make an impression on more than just a few they wouldn't advertise their product that way. All about the £££s not others emotional well-being. A bit like drug-pushers.
