Rihanna's 'Rogue' perfume poster attracts controversy

Rihanna seem to be on an overtly sexy campaign, barely two days after serving the world a jaw dropping super sheer Adam Selman Swarovski dress to the CFDA Awards, the controversial singer’s poster from her ‘Rogue’ perfume has been restricted to areas where children are unlikely to see it because of its "sexually suggestive" image of the pop star.

The poster features the image of Riri sitting on the floor with head and shoulders leaning against a wall and legs raised against a large bottle of the ‘Rogue’ perfume. She attracted hordes of reactions deeming the image overly suggestive and inappropriate especially for children; people ‘complained that the ad was offensive because it was overly sexual and demeaning to women and featured a "sexualised and provocative" image which was inappropriate for children to see’ Guardian reported.

It was revealed that the American Standards Authority (ASA) released a statement saying "While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we considered that Rihanna's pose, with her legs raised in the air, was provocative.

"Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to be naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad was sexually suggestive and should have been given a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children."

It ruled that the ad must not appear again without a placement restriction to reduce the possibility of it being seen by children.

Ouch, There goes Riri’s sexy rogue campaign poster!
