LONDON (Reuters) - An advertisement for budget airline EasyJet featuring a picture of a woman's breasts in a bikini top with a headline "Discover weapons of mass distraction" was not offensive, Britain's advertising watchdog said Wednesday.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it had received 186 complaints about the advert from some who said the it was demeaning to women and from others who said it trivialized the war in Iraq (news - web sites).

One of the reasons Britain used to justify taking military action was Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction.

5. And I thought the Iraq war was nothing else but trivial

Nothing terribly offensive about it at all, though I can understand why some would find offense to it...

6. that is

disgusting and pathetic. I guess the families of the thousands of people killed in this invasion to find those WMD would find this hilarious too. A couple of inflated caucasian breasts standing in as a joke on the raison d'etre for a war. Advertising has sunk to an unexplored new low with this one...

:puke:
