Miley Cyrus not shocking any more, say advertising expert

 Advertising watchdogs have cleared this poster featuring pop star and actress Miley Cyrus of allegations it was overtly sexual and offensive

Miley Cyrus may be losing her ability to shock the modeling business, advertising expert say...

Advertising watchdogs have cleared a poster featuring the pop star and actress of allegations it was overtly sexual and offensive.


The billboard featured Miley Cyrus wearing a low cut bodysuit lying on her back with her legs apart against a mirrored wall looking into the camera.


The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received complaints from just three members of the public, who said the image was overtly sexual and therefore offensive.
The singer (pictured here at the MTV Video Music Awards) has built an image based around shock and sexuality, often wearing very little in her own publicity pictures and at awards ceremonies in order to boost her notoriety, profile and sales

In a ruling published today, the ASA said it ‘recognized that some might find the posters distasteful’, particularly in the context of a make-up ad.

However, it said: ‘While we considered that the images were sexually suggestive, we concluded that they were not overtly sexual and unlikely to cause serious or widespread offense.’
