Selling Guns With Sex

An advertisement featuring a bikini-clad, gun-wielding model has led to a vicious online feud about whether or not the image is degrading to women.

Townsville hunting store NQ Hunting and Fishing Supplies (NQHFS) received an anonymous complaint over the controversial ad, saying the image was exploitative to women.

‘After four years, we finally got an anonymous complaint from the Advertising Standards Bureau about the ”girl with the gun” on our Hilux,’ the hunting business posted on Facebook

But while the Queensland business has stood by their choice of advertising, an online dispute erupted, with one user saying the image was ‘sexualising women’.

In response to the post, Cassie Irving said she was not offended by the scantily- dressed model but pointed out many other women would have found the image offensive.

A spokesperson from NQHFS hit back, calling Ms Irving a ‘hypocrite’.

‘Cassie Irving, are the selfies on your Facebook pouting with your cleavage hanging out sexualising women or just you looking for attention?

‘Many women would find that more offensive than someone tastefully wearing a bikini.’
