Perfume spot banned for glorifying drug use

Following 13 complaints, the ad below for Yves Saint-Laurent's Belle d'Opium perfume has been banned by Britain's Ad Standards Authority because the dancer briefly appears to point at her arm—a bit of choreography that seems more about shooting up than seduction. YSL insists otherwise, but the ASA has them pretty much dead to rights here. The watchdog said that "in the context of the ad, Belle running her finger down her inner arm could be seen to simulate the injection of opiates into the body."
