It seems like Call doesn’t care so much that the ad is advertising gambling and just doesn’t like that it features a woman without enough clothing on.

Kinda funny how many people have a problem with a woman’s body being sexual but all summer they celebrated “Tarps Off” and no one had a problem with grown men taking their shirts off in front of and around kids.

It’s a problem that men by default see the woman’s body as sexualized.

I didn’t see Michael B. Jordan naked in the tarps off section with just some baseballs covering his junk

No, you just saw groups of men take off their shirts in public places because rules don’t apply to them and society has decided topless men isn’t sexual in the way women are.

Yeah fair enough. I agree with your point that women’s bodies are generally oversexualized against their will and that’s fucked up. I just don’t think the Sweeney ad is really an example of that issue.
