The advertising watchdog has banned a poster for a teenage TV drama series that featured a dishevelled, semi-naked young woman sitting on a bed, surrounded by couples apparently taking part in an orgy.
The Advertising Standards Authority said the image for Channel 4's "Skins" program "could cause serious or widespread offence" and was inappropriate for poster sites that could be seen by children.
t ordered Channel 4 to stop using the poster, which featured the character Michelle dressed only in her underwear, with smudged eye make-up and a vacant look on her face. In the background, a semi-naked boy sits on the bed, while couples embrace at the foot of the bed. The wallpaper was partly ripped from the walls.
