'Daily Star' 'Page 3 Babes' Ad Banned
- The Guardian, Wednesday, March 25, 2015 6:55 AM
An advert by the Daily Star for a competition offering readers a chance to win a date with a Page 3 model has been banned by the Advertising Standards Agency after they found it to be “sexist, offensive and socially irresponsible”. The newspaper, which named itself the “official home of Page 3 babes” after the Sun stopped publishing photos of topless models in January, offered a prize of a visit from two “Star Babes” to the winner’s workplace.
