Responds to backlash with PR spin, gaslights customers objecting to Playboy merch

Youth retailer City Beach has been slammed for promoting global porn industry brand Playboy, following the release of its new range of Playboy-branded clothing.

Back in 2011, we exposed youth retailer City Beach for flogging porn products to teens. Ten years on, they are doing it again.

"How on earth do you think this is acceptable to sell knowing a large percentage of your customers are teens?"

It’s that time of year again! As the Christmas season draws near, companies are competing for your business.

It’s that time of year again! With the Christmas season upon us, retailers are taking it up a notch competing for your business.

Corporate offenders of 2013

The festive season is here. You only need to look at the latest shopping centre catalogues, online stores and even your facebook news feed to see that companies are working hard to compete for your Xmas dollar.

But lets not forget which of these companies have used sexploitation to flog their products in 2013! Before you buy gifts for friends and family, check our list. Vote with your dollar and boycott companies that have sexualised children and objectified women for profit in 2013.

[UPDATE] Spotlight new addition to list for Playboy bed linen

You're about to be bombarded. Bombarded with junk mail, TV, radio and outdoor advertising all competing for your Christmas dollar. Before you purchase gifts for your friends and loved ones, lets remember those brands that have excelled in sexploitation this year, the brands and companies that do not deserve your hard earned money. Cross 'em off your Xmas list!
