Italy Bans Ford's New Ad
James Devaney, WireImage.com
Bad boy fashion designer Tom Ford has managed to unnerve notoriously amorous Italians with a sexy ad that's so risqué it was banned in Italy. Ford (who made Gucci into a brand synonymous with sex) offended the Italian Advertising Institute (IAI) with a picture for his sunglasses ad campaign that shows a woman biting down on a man's finger. While other images in the same series include a naked woman groping a man's crotch and another ironing next to a man holding a cigar, the lips on finger pic was deemed "deeply vulgar and went beyond bad taste" according to the IAA ruling.

Ford is really pathetic. Notoriously a gay man, but can't bring himself to be oopen about it and use THAT in his ad campaigns, he doesn't mind using heterosexuals to sell his wares. What a hypocrit

You people are hilariously... pathetic. There is nothing wrong with these images; you people are horribly conservative. You're also extremely feministic. *rolls eyes* Get your heads out of your asses.
