German butcher admonished for naked woman advert

Germany's national advertising council has admonished a butcher for putting on its adverts and delivery trucks pictures of a naked woman with the slogan "Meat Products, Fresh Service" stamped across her body.

The council said that the adverts by G&M Fleischwaren Frischdienst were degrading and anti-woman.



"Such an advert blatantly violates the council's codes on discrimination and degradation in advertising," the council said in a statement. "Equating a woman with fresh meat is degrading and highly misogynist."

The firm near Stuttgart has agreed to remove the slogan, but is keeping the woman, whose back and shoulders are visible.
