Is this ad sexist?
The ASA recently banned a poster ad for Tottenham-based Mems DIY store, saying it contained "overtly sexual content" which was "sexist and objectified women." Read the full story and see the controversial advert here.
What do you think?

I think the advert is sexist and the ASA were right to ban it
It's too explicit to be displayed where anyone can see it, but it shouldn't be banned
I wouldn't use it for my business, but Mems should be allowed to if they wish
There's nothing wrong with it, I'd use it to promote my business
