Outcry over lesbian TV show ads
A poster for a lesbian drama on Living
TV has prompted almost 650 complaints -
but they have been rejected by the
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
The 646 complaints said posters for The
L Word, which showed semi-naked women
in body oil, were offensive, degrading
and unsuitable to be seen by children.
It is the most complaints for a single
advert the ASA has received this year.
But the watchdog said the images were
not sexually explicit and accurately
reflected the show's content.
