  the p.c. factor seems to be very subjective in advertising; i think the advertising standard powers that be fear backlash and repercussions from ads seeming “insensitive” or “offensive” to the point where anything slightly provocative or sensitive may be construed as such. 
  on one hand, with all of the teen suicides at epidemic rates over the last year or 2, i can see this ad as a depiction of a sad young girl with little hope and desperation contemplating her melancholy while waiting for the train to end her misery. but, damn, that’s a stretch.maybe people are just too sensitive and too easily offended? nothing is safe anymore. someone is going to find something offensive in anything.and on the other hand, this imagery is fantasy and fashion…. let’s not take this too seriously. and on a whole other hand, what a beautiful girl!

  1) She was trespassing on posted private property unless given consent by the parent railroad and owner of the rail lines right of way.

  2) More and more people are making bad choices in regard to railroads right of ways, including a number of recent deaths and injuries that were completely preventable.  None of these deaths were due to “restrains” being used on the people on the tracks.  They were “just walking” or “sightseeing” or “taking a shortcut”, etc. and trespassing and then abruptly struck and killed or injured.

  3) No amount of “Artistic License” should override common sense.  But apparently people are no longer taught that “if you cross traffic without looking, you’re likely to get hit” or “don’t play on or around train tracks”!  Artistic license or not, messing around anywhere near these tracks, especially in an international ad campaign, sends the wrong message!

  4) There are plenty of other Artistic, beautiful, safer places to choose to shoot.  Including, if they wanted the “look and feel” of a railroad theme doing so OFF THE TRACKS and OFF RAILWAY PROPERTY!  Maybe at a park where steam engines are still run regularly in the background!!

  don’t they realize that by banning this ad more people will now see it — because of the publicity of their move —  than would have if they had said nothing?

  When you open the door to the censor, you might has well hand over the title deed. Censorship will always grow without limit, smothering everything in the end. The only safe thing to do is to refuse to let censorship exist.

  I don’t see the problem with this photo, and i’m pretty sure that it was photoshopped.

  The ad depicts saddness & depression, a problem with many of our young people these days. Although the ad is harmless to the average person, it is not to a child on the brink of comitting suicide.

  yes thank you finally someone see’s the message it is sending.. ^^ you people need to look more critically at these things, not accept everything the media gives you, rather be critical of it. and also keep in mind, as much as adults are stupid, children do not have the same mind as an adult, so exposure to an image like this.. yes it could have negative consequences im sure if you saw your kid on train tracks you would not be very pleased, same goes with this picture, just because its a girl modeling, doesn’t make it okay!
