Richmond Ham
Today's unashamed ad subject is a British ad campaign for Richmond Ham in 2012, featuring a man "as nature intended."
The campaign included putting these posters in British supermarkets.
Another supermarket poster. Of course, they concealed frontal views.
But this poster did show a rear view.
And here's their TV commercial. The commercial was banned in Britain. Government censorship of nudity? No, the nudity was no problem. At the end, it says "Britain's only ham made with 100% natural ingredients." But the ham came from Ireland, so the government ruled that they couldn't call it British ham.

LOL. I was in London in June '79, so I knew the BBC didn't shy away from frontal nudity. That it would be banned because the ham is from Ireland is a hoot!
In the US, it would be the exact opposite. Nudity would have the censors screaming foul while misleading information about the ingredients would not matter in the least.
That's wild. I think U.S. advertising may have flirted very, very briefly with rear nudity on "edgy" cable channels like MTV back in the '90s. Butt then it was gone in a...flash.
in the video it looks like the earthly paradise before original sin!
Bravo and A&E, even TBS showed Tom Cruise's cock in All the Right Moves once. MTV didn't show nudity, except where it was inevitable, like Red Hot Chili Peppers in socks. I do remember the open-vest look.
The flip side being the 90s were more oppressive and racist than people remember. If you weren't Karen, at least. I distinctly remember some 40 dudes raping a girl at a concert, and the organizer basically saying shit happens.
Basically the 90s were like the 80s: Right-wing racist nonsense, but saturated with sex, so people don't notice.
