Aussie mum rages over ‘erotic’ shop display

Palmerston resident Hannah Curran took to Facebook to complain about lingerie store Bras N Things’ latest ad campaign showing close-ups of different underwear on women’s bums.The 43-year-old believes the video ad in the window of the Gateway Shopping Centre store has gone too far, calling the flashing images “erotic”, Kidspot reports. Hannah shared an image to Facebook of a close-up of a woman wearing a barely there G-string asking, if Bras N Things was “trying to turn into a strip club with this for public view”.In another Facebook group she shared a video of the window display saying, “shame on you Bras N Things … head office and Gateway Shopping Centre NT are allowing this in public viewing from outside the shop for any age to see.”Ms Curran said Bras N Things and the shopping centre should ensure these images were only visible from inside the store.“My main concern is children easily being able to see these sexualised erotic images,” she told NT News.For more stories like this, go tokidspot.com.au.“We as a society must protect children and not normalise and promote any pornography, sexual or erotic images.”The woman said she was “disgusted” the shopping centre allowed such advertising when it touts itself as a “family friendly” venue.“I’m surprised anyone can be offended by this.”A Gateway Shopping Centre spokeswoman said the ad “was undertaken by the store for the store” and the woman should make a direct complaint to Bras N Things. The Facebook post has divided locals, with some agreeing the “shock advertising” isn’t necessary.“Not everyone is OK with a woman’s butt with a G-string shoved up the crack,” one wrote.While many others called Hannah a ‘Karen’ for complaining.“Goodness another Karen. Have you been to the swimming pools or the beach? Get over yourself,” one person wrote.Someone else asked: “I’m surprised anyone can be offended by this. “More to worry about than a few bums on a shop window.”Someone else responded with: “Oh no a bottom cheek – CU in the NT”— referring to the wild slogan by an independent underground campaign designed to promote travel awareness to the Northern Territory.Ms Curran said she was not deterred from the campaign against the store, saying: “I know many people agree with me who don’t comment on Facebook for their own reasons and I’m proud of my morals and values.”Kidspot has contacted Bras N Things for comment.The was first published on Kidspot and is reproduced here with permission Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
