HARVEY NICKS ADS ARE A WEE BIT TOO MUCH FOR SHOPPERS
High street giant Harvey Nichols has come under fire for a "disgusting" ad campaign that depicts a woman peeing herself.The luxury chain's latest mailshots have angered shoppers who have branded them "crass" and off-putting. Judging by the reaction, the flyers which have been sent to thousands of potential customers around the country to promote a sale, have clearly offended sensitive shoppers. They show a woman with her clothes soaked around the groin area next to the slogan: "The Harvey Nichols Sale.. Try To Contain Your Excitment." On micro-blogging site Twitter, some people have already shown their disgust for the ads. One user said: "Really, Harvey Nicks? Really? They're certainly pushing the boundaries." Another user tweeted: "you are kidding about these aren't you? *checkscalendar*" One woman posted: "that absolutely does not make me the slightest bit inclined to shop there!"One tweet read: "Anyone in advertising? Even if not - take a look at the WORST advertising I've ever seen & it's for @Harvey_Nichols
