Parental watchdogs One Million Moms has issued a statement protesting these new Armani Exchange ads that are part of the “Share The Love” campaign and feature same sex models but really they just got it some more publicity.
OMM typically focuses on issues that air on television, but there is one other issue we cannot ignore any longer: fashion designers using scantily dressed models in advertisements who have recently put their focus on threesomes or same-s*x couples. This is not okay!
Malls, where teens hang out, have retailers whose window displays poison our children with 10-foot posters that are nothing but soft p*rn. In particular, Armani Exchange has recently displayed Valentine’s posters with partially dressed “couples” holding one another. These couples consist of two men, a man and woman, and two women. The women are scantily dressed while it is questionable if the men have any clothes on at all. Two of these models are used a couple of times to represent bis*xuals. If it could get any worse the text written is “SHARE THE LOVE.” (An asterisk ‘*’ is used to ensure our emails get through to those who have signed up for our alerts. Otherwise specific words referenced would be blocked by some Internet filters.)
Not every local mall has an Armani Exchange, but we need to take a stand since A|X is one of the fashion leaders and this is becoming a popular trend. You may view these on their website at www.armaniexchange.com. WARNING! Pictures are offensive.
Moms, you may think this is a long shot, but remember, just last summer complaints to Calvin Klein concerning a foursome billboard was removed from New York City Soho District. We must let retailers and designers know that we do not approve, so imitators will not be encouraged and make this a norm.

Sooooo is the “problem” only a problem because of the same sex couples? Or is the over-all sexual content disturbing to these OMM’s? We are subjected to sexual images all the time, not to mention the constant broken penis ads all over television, but who complains about that??? Get a life!
Im curious to know what’s wrong. I didnt know A/X makes children’s clothes. If these mothers’ kids can wear A/X they are well into their teens and prob already having sex. This is a prolem but MTV, VH1 and Bravo shows gay/bisexual oriented sexed up shows all day long. LOL…Comedy!
Who gives a shit freedom of expression no court could go agaisnt it. those feminist nazis might be able to shame there kids into summision but good luck doing that to a big multinational company
