[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one with the toddler having her swimsuit pulled down revealing a white rear end against tan skin? I always thought the ad was really cute, but would the general public react that way if the ad were coming out now? [/quote][b]no because we now know the perils of too much sun.[/quote][/b]

How do people get this far off topic?  The premise of this question wasn’t about the public’s current attitude about letting a toddler get tan, but the public’s attitude towards seeing an ad showing a toddler’s naked rear end. [/quote]

Perception of child public "nudity" has changed, too. I know from photos that I ran around in my yard and visited public beaches "topless" in the early 70s as a toddler until I was about 6. The copper tone ad little girl is of the era when little girls would swim and play in little sun suits (shorts overalls without a top under) or just swim bottoms or underpants.

I'd be surprised to see this now and maybe a bit concerned. Mom of 2 teen girls and can't recall having them "topless" so yes this gets back to sun exposure and sun damage and societal mores.

My cousin just posted her DDs (4 and 7) European vacation pics. Girls are in shorts only on a boat.[/quote]
