I don't know if that is exactly the criticism I've heard — more that it is just sex-obsessed. Where I live now, sex is seen as a part of life, but not the main focus, by any means. I don't know if America needs to "loosen up" so much as just to put sex back in its place. -And I agree... advertising is not its place!

I'm also not extremely pleased to see the use of sex in so much of the marketing. I know it sells, but I think the merchant's gain from it is a big loss for the rest of us.
