A good Slate article on the prom controversy.
Man, it amazes me how much parents are complicit in this disaster.

Thanks to Caleb, we have a link to the Italian bare bottom ad. In his words it is "quite a sexy behind" so be forewarned.
Looking at the ad now, I definitely think it was inappropriate. I was expecting a full-sized woman in a shower with barely-perceptible curves; instead we have a close-up shot of a bottom that, while streaked, is otherwise quite clear. The ad even focuses on people's sexual desire: "If you want to see clearly, call your electrician." (It isn't even about a bathroom product.) It's all about "sex sells". Shame on them.
