Boston Mayor Thomas Menino earlier has created a roar by blasting ‘Stop Snitchin’ T shirt and now again he is hell bent on a retail store. This time, his anger falls for French Connection United Kingdom (FCUK) ad, that dared to feature two female models appearing to be attacking one another in an all out cat fight.
The Mayor is pressuring the poor clothing store to dump the ‘Fashion vs. Style’ ad as he feels the ad is offensive to women. The ads are displayed on front of the French Connection stores on Newbury Street and Copley Place.
The Mayor said in a statement, ‘The women should be portrayed in more positive light. The ad campaign both connects and promotes negative images of women and violence, certainly not how we want girls and young women to see themselves, and most definitely not a path we want them to follow.’
