Why is everyone upset over this Twiggy Olay advertisement?

twiggy_ban.jpg

This touched-up advertisement featuring 1960's supermodel Twiggy has been banned in England.  The problem is when this photo was taken, Twiggy was 59-years-old.

So, what's pissing everyone off?  It's the fact that Twiggy doesn't have a wrinkle or even a crinkle in sight!

The British Parliment took up the issue saying that Twiggy's Olay ad is too misleading.  On Thursday, U.K's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned the ad completely.

I saw her on Top Model and she doesn't look that good. It's about time someone put a stop to this Hollywood non-sense. If you are old use the product and if it works promote it but to mislead people is just another way Hollywood makes money....&#!% ugly ass women

Always pleasant to stumble across a new blog this great I will be coming back for sure!

We was truly impressed with your site. We simply just submitted the site to Delicious.
