so if you don't know there is a billboard for a new Lee campaign in Austarlia that has been shot by TerryRichardson that is kicking up a storm in the whole shock tactics debate... anyone know/seen it have an opinion?? It's being accused of promoting child porn which seems a touch OTT to me... I'm in Melborune and saw it at the weekend, and didn't think too much of it, but the country has gone mad about it!! Weird...

Paedophillia and child pornography has been a semi-hot topic in Australia the last few weeks. The billboard keeps the media momentum going.

Apparently - and I say this only because I saw it on the tv. If it was on the internet it would be true...
it's supposed to an allusion to Lolita?

yeah I heard all that stuff as well, personally I think the shoot is a bit classless, but that is cos I see TR as a bit of a dirty old perv who has managed to legitimise if trade... but I'm just a bit surprised by the way the media has jumped on it, wild fire. I mean they are really using it as an excuse to drive people to their sites to see the shots - so slightly hypocritical...
