Normally I'm a fan of the Disney. Lately however, things do not seem to be going well in the advertising department. First there was the Miley thing (see below), now there's this Japanese ad. I have no problem with selling cute Mickey underwear, and I'm not opposed to cute bras either. However, I find it somewhat inappropriate to be showing a girl wearing just those pieces of clothing when really, she doesn't even look old enough to need a bra. Seriously, look at the girl's face. That has to be some digital cleavage.
Then there's the rest of this picture that accentuates the weird factor. 1) Why would you wear the same puppet character on both hands? 2) Pigtails? Really? For an underwear ad? and 3) Why is she laying on a fur rug? This whole set up is begging to be illegal.
To their credit though, Disney pulled the ad pretty quickly. However, this trend makes me believe that they apparently are gunning to be the next Calvin Klein.
