Archery ads have had ladies in them hundreds of times.

My wife has been in several Martin ads as well as their catalog. She went out and had some nice pictures done to look her best for those times that her picture was used.
I do not see the line that has been crossed. The model (?) is tastefully clothed. The pose is not unreasonably provocative.
If it was Darren McCutcheon with the Mustang that he won last year in Atlantic City, would that be the same? He is pretty cute in his little t-shirt.
How about if it was Dee and Reo? Would it be sexist for the ladies to note that Reo is in the ad? (Sorry Dee but you have to be the father figure.)
I do believe this is the gentlest use of this concept I can remember.
In archery much more blatant ads have been used many, many times. Did you respond the same to those ads. Is this the first time you have been outraged about an archery ad? Why this one and not an earlier one?
