Four times a G spot?
Not to forget 4G is ‘fast’.
i guess 4G is the reason tht her leg is so high & her panties r missin – FAST! LOL
Ok fellas. Tek yuh mine out de gutta.
Faux 4G is offensive to everyone.
4G isn’t possible yet! It’s only a theory….
It’s only because the phone people were quarelling so bad that the Standards for 4G was lowered…
Nobody has a real-time acheivement of 4G yet. So people shouldn’t be calling it that. Straight.
What do you think the photographer who took this pic saw?
Do you think the model was embarrassed when it was taken ( I am assuming a male photographer, If not male, then all female technical production staff).
Lime is only following the example of very poor taste that passes for advertising. It seems as though the persons who come up with local advertising campaigns always have their minds in the gutter. They somehow tend to think that sex is the main way to sell a product. There is an ad for one of these road rescue add- ons for the insurance companies where the lady who is rescued throws herself at the guy who came to her assistance: she sounds very slutty. They are devoid of imagination: someone came up with a polite pig campaign remember?
WHO is offended ???
Sex, in a word sells. At least is this instance the model seems to be of age, Britain recently banned a provocative ad featuring the 17 year old actress Dakota Fanning. What was the perfume company selling?

I’ve seen worst. This doesn’t seem offensive to me. In fact I would think most people wouldn’t notice it, well at least around my age.
I was going to say the same thing, UNTIL, in the same paper I saw the article “The Naked Truth”
Barbados will continue to get what Barbados “generally” wants.
True enough.
And what Barbados seems to want is…
“skinout.”
Straight.
Barbados already getting “skinout” with LIME’s exorbitant rates so they might as well start showing the effects of their continual rate increases in a smart way – she’s depicting how Bajans getting “skinout” while her smile depicts that of LIME when we pay our bills…
Who is degrading who? Dont you think women should have respect for themselves and stop allowing these advestising agencies as portray them as sex object ?
Here is a case for NOW and the several women organizations.
Women respect yuhself!
@David
you will always find women to participate in vulgar advertising for the pittance.
For once i agree with CASWELL! makes lot of sense! a lot of the time what is being presented to the model by the agency as how the ad is going to portray his or her is not true, Unless she has proper representation when before signing the dotted line most of the time the ad agency hid the details and the model believes what she is being told. until when she /he sees the finish product and is repulsive by then it is out for the public to scrutinize and demoralise them.the young women are what the ad agency targets because SEX always sell.
I’m sure LIME thought they hit the spot on this one.
Women behave yourself..The women in most of the sexual ads are YOUNG ! GULLIBLE and NIEVE. Most of them really does not understand the marketing business and advertising. The ad agencies are the ones to blame they have hidden agenda which they do not exposed to their vulnerable and unsuspecting client. Unfortunately their clientele are young and impressionable women who see the money as quick and easy and a way of getting a foot in the modelling door not realising that most of the time they are being used sexually to make big bucks for a big company whose only interest is to sell their product in a way which would appeal to the public interest as portrayed in the above ad.

“Unfortunately their clientele are young and impressionable women who see the money as quick and easy and a way of getting a foot in the modelling door …………
not realising that most of the time they are being used sexually to make big bucks …………. ”
Can a similar analysis bee made to the massage parlours exotic dance halls, and houses of prostitution (brothels) in Barbados?
Why do you try to portray these women as gullible, stupid, easily influenced? Remember these same women have been educated, “churched” and socialised in a similar environment as their male counterparts. What these actions represent are business decisions and transactions.
Go and criticize your fellow DLP pimps for selling their integrity and reputation to Leroy!
@Miller
why do u have to introduce politics into every topic. The blog immediately above yours does not have any political underpinning.
Lets act like grown ups.
Sex has always been used to sell things.
What is disappointing is that LIME is one of the largest and most prominent companies in Barbados and the Caribbean, it has a corporate responsibility to the communities in which it operates.
Where we should place the microscope is on the executives at LIME where the final decision rests for delivering the ad to market.
@ uneducated | November 19, 2011 at 8:10 AM |
It’s not only politics; it’s about hypocrisy!
Why criticise women for doing what they want to do? No body is putting a gun against their heads. Women are free human beings and have the inalienable right to do what they want to do as long as it is not against the law or violating the rights of others Or is this too hard for you to understand? Prove me wrong that women have the right to do what they want to do? Or do you think they should seek approval from men before proceeding?
The reference to CLICO (presumably a topic you would like to see buried) was to show up ac’s double standards and hypocritical forked tongue.
No you act like an educated grown up where the rights of women are concerned!
@Miller
Women and men have the right to chose, but sometimes we do not see the whole picture and that is why oftentimes we need to step back and evaluate the situation.
Sometimes one thing is said in negotiation and and if you are not smart to read the dotted lines you can be tricked. Then again, do u exspect an uneducated barbadian like me to understand your logic. I only went to primer school, if you know what that mean, and please dont pick a fight with an uneducated dunce like me.
@ uneducated | November 19, 2011 at 8:39 AM |
Confession is good for the soul (LOL)! But you are not confessing to your priest. Your God knows what’s really in your heart and “brain”!
I too went to “prima’ school where “Dan was a man in a van”.
But I also went to “Seventh Standard’ where one was taught about breach of contract, duress, and invalidity of contracts involving breach of laws of public decency.
I think David’s thread sums it up neatly. Criticism should be leveled at the highly paid executives at LIME (who stand to benefit the most from the ad). Don’t cast the most blame on the ad agency or the woman! Sounds like “the woman made me do it excuse”!
I would like to pose a question to the executives at LIME and other companies that exploit women and young girls in their advertising. Would you approve those ads if the women or girls involved were your daughters, wives, nieces or mothers.
@Miller
Thank you.
@ Caswell
The Executives at Lime must be chortling with glee, the ad did what is was supposed to do i.e. get eyeballs to view and tongues to wag which probably means more sales, more plans to upgrade and the bottom line more money. If it was a stodgy phone we wouldn’t pay it a second glance. Some times Ad agencies s take the easy way out and what is easier that a young nubile female with a strategically placed banner over her primary assets (why do you think bikinis are so popular? We all know what’s under there but we are free to let our imaginations run wild).
Some of the best ads are those with a bit of comedy e.g. they could have put two kids with the last generation of phones connected with a string ( as in the tots of old) and the new generation of phones showing someone texting or speaking with someone in a far flung country.
But what do I know I’m not an Ad Executive.
@Sargeant
Digicel is about to launch ‘4G’ as well, here is the AD they are running.!
@David
Sex still sells, which ad are we talking about again? I rest my case.
@Sargeant
Agree to you point, making the other point that as a good corporate citizen we have choices to make.
If the topic is about dog poo millerb would interject politics.The truth of the matter is that the ad agency use lies and deception to lure these girls into signing the contractual agreement. Nobody wants to been seen globaly as a slut or a whore but the agencies and companies don,t care about the person involved as long as the finished product paints a picture of what the public can identify with.that being sex
Two messages .
The one from LIME sucks.
Digicel fast like lightning.
Is this saying that she is just as fast as the 4G
Perhaps to understand what the agency is thinking here, it is about exuding energy (using a pretty female) to appeal to a segment who will be attracted to the services which 3/4 G support i.e. streaming video/movies etc, working with social media and the like.

“Nobody wants to been seen globally as a slut or a whore but the agencies and companies don’t care about the person involved as long as the finished product paints a picture of what the public can identify with that being sex”.
So how do you view Rhianna ? Do you see her as a slut or a whore, too? Is she a vulnerable little Bajan girl who has been deceived and tricked into doing the things she does? Just asking your view on this one or don’t you see the relevance? Be careful! Hypocritical analysis test at work here, you know!
See no politics, this time! Just thinking a bit outside the political box! No “ad” hominems in reply please! Get the irony of the “ad”?
PS: When the topic is about dog poo I know you will be around dropping it so I have to come along with the poo scoop and bucket along with the detergent. (Right bow wow!). Like the dogs in the George St. kennel barking dogs seldom bite! Dog bite “advertising hominem” you !
Why criticize LIME? Most of the large corporations have beautiful young ladies marketing their produce on TV and print media. Every year Banks has the Banks Calender Girls and they are ALL semi-nude. There is going to be a Men’s calender out next year, should they be criticism too?
@The scout
agree with you, we should criticize any of it!
Miller
We would criticize this young lady but glorify Rihanna for being much more vulgar than her. Isn’t Rihanna the Youth Ambassador, So shouldn’t the youth see her as their mentor? I saw a police officer a few days ago reprimanding a young school girl who had just use the C-word to one of her friends, my first thought was,”but our Youth Ambassador says it’s the norm in Barbados.” I didn’t hear the minister remark on RihaNNA’S COMMENT.
The Scout | November 19, 2011 at 12:38 PM |
Good point, Scout!
Just shows the depth of hypocrisy in this place! From gambling to prostitution and homosexuality. A place riddle with child abuse, domestic violence, single parent families and commercialised religion.
Bajan women should now be waiting with baited breath for this “equal” opportunity to ogle the opposite kind.
@David
Hope they don’t take those 4G phones to Pakistan, they have banned the use of certain words in text messages. Think that Jobbi (spelling) or Brassbowl among them?
Unless we live in a bubble there is no escaping ads like these, if they are not in the Barbados media or Billboards there are bound to be in the magazines or TV shows that we are exposed to everyday. There are many clever ads that don’t use sex to sell phones, cars or appliances but some advertisers take the cheap alternative.
What about Benneton, has anyone seen their latest ads?
@David
My latest comment seemed to have disappeared into your spam bucket would appreciate your retrieving it.
Quoting mackie | November 18, 2011 at 9:25 PM | “What do you think the photographer who took this pic saw?”
Ya poppit the photographer saw a pair of plain black waist high “bingo bags”
The picture was photo shopped too. The woman’s face says mid-thirties, and the rest of the body is a much younger person.
Rihanna has very little say so in what she does she has to play by the rules in the industry or else she fails.. I don’t view her as a slut or a whore unfortunately it is the way the business is structured and those who have invested in her needs to see a handy return profit wise . Rhianna is now a Product and she is being handle as such because that is what the public WANTS.

Beyonce is an artist of similar style, hugely successful and has not ‘skin-out’ like Rihanna has to date.
In fact a big difference with Beyonce is that her mother has been by her side for most of her career.
Go figure.
Times changes People attitudes and expectations the marketing industry they are well aware of that and they have to up their game and like i said before they must produce a product which the people demands and one which sells Beyonce in her time was seen as risque and provocative now as she gets older her audience which are people of her age have become a bit more conservative and those are the ones she targets . Rhianna on the other hand has the Younger crowd and that is her target audience and those are the ones who buy her albums.
@ac
ok

“Rhianna on the other hand has the Younger crowd and that is her target audience and those are the ones who buy her albums.”
And who will be buying the 4G phones (iphones and all that)? Men only or young liberated educated women from the land of Lesbos?? Just asking, OK? Don’t impute any political “MAM” motives now, OK?
