No sex please, we are the financial times.

FT refused to run a "tasteful page three girl" ad after discovering what it looked like - a topless girl next to the line: "The art of selling in a bare market".

Stuart Bradbury, business development manager of The Bank says; "We deliberately chose the FT to showcase our ad in order to demonstrate that our thinking incorporates placing the usual in the unusual."

 

To me, it shows they haven't learned that "shocking for attention's sake is nothing but a cheap trick." Ah well.

"The art of selling in a bare market".
