    It's got shock and titillation value as well as being socially acceptable and inevitable. Everything that makes a product noticeable. I've noticed as well and I think it's great. Sometimes they take the mickey out of nudists but I for one, know that ALL nudists have a great sense of humour and can laugh at ourselves.

    I have been known to contact the advertiser to tell them what is wrong/right with the ad.

    Some of the ads I have noticed lately it is mentioned so quickly you will miss it if you do not watch closely. one even speels (Flashes) the words out and I think even though they said "nude" they spelled it "nood". another ad lately is about hamburgers, i do not remember the deails but think they were talking about eating it in the nude.

YES! I am not losing my mind!! whoo!!! ^.^

    VW had an advertisement in Europe that used nudists. Can't remember the exact details, but they were driving past a nude beach, they stopped and went for a swim. I think.

    I've noticed over the years that there are less clothes being worn some of the lotion,body wash and perfume ads.  Do you think America will ever fully open up to nudity as over seas?

    We've noticed it as well.  Great to see.  Has become kind of a game with us to be the first to spot the nude reference.

    This is really interesting Jimmie - I am deeply interested in discourses like this slowly unfoldoing.  Could you elaborate a little by telling me how long this has been happening, and maybe describe some of the ads [or if they're on youtube - post links?].

    I just watched an interesting segment of National Geographic's Taboo series, which had a segment on the Lake Como Nudist Resort in Florida; it was pretty well done and I have to suspect some of the people that were there are here as well...

    They're realizing that nudists are a community with money just like any other.

    The ad here in the UK for,  Richmond Ham,  is nudes all the way through.  I have tried to paste it here, but for some reason, am not able to get it right.  I don't know if it's me or my pc.

    Here in the U.S., in the last week, I have seen a new ad on TV for the auto insurance company Geico which takes place on a beach and then shows a sign marking the beach as Clothing Optional.  Then the gecko looks at himself and say at least he will fit in and walks on past the sign.

    I see more programs and advertisements on tv leading to a nude or naturist life style are coming up more and more. I believe this is helping us to reach acceptance with more of the public here in the USA. If there are people in marketing in the media reading this, Please keep up the good work. Not only does it catch peoples attention it helps our acceptance.
