Every time I see an ad with a female model advertising something, I can't help but notice the way she's been displayed.

I mean, look at this one:

Or this one:

http://www.hi-design.ru/brand/Calvin%20Kle...es/klein_00.jpg

I think that's just wrong. I keep seeing younger and younger models being sexualised. And it's not sending a very good message to teenagers, is it?

Is this disturbing only to me? Or do people find it "cool"? What is it that I don't understand?

Do you find that these ads are ok?

Discuss.
