Advertising Complaint - managerial

I have never be fond of your advertising market. Sometimes I don't know if you are advertising the clothes or sex, since almost all of your displays are half naked models engaging in sexual acts. Ex: kissing, laying on top of each other, ect. Even your bags are either guys just showing their body, or the latest, a guy and girl kissing with very little or no clothes on. However, my confusion was rectified yesterday (December 26th) as my family and I were walking through Westfield Mall in Brandon Fl when my 13 year old was approached by one of your models in nothing but swim trunks asking her if she wanted to take a picture with him! When she declined, he again said "maybe on the way out" Not too mention she was with two other girls 15 and 12. My husband and 5 year old were very close by during this time. I find this to be extremely unprofessional, disrespectful, and quite frankly disgusting. I honestly can't believe that this approach is even allowed by your company. I over heard the model to others saying "How about a picture with a hot guy!" At what level does this become sexual harrassement? The sad thing about this is that it is DECEMBER! Even in Florida, the clothes diplayed were sweaters, jeans, and other winter type clothing. The shorts he was wearing were not even on display in the store. Therefore, it is now clear to me that you are not advertising your clothing. Which I do like some of them and my daughters did purchase them. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. I will no longer support this kind of advertising, no matter how good the clothes are. I am also going to take every action possible to see that this type of advertising is no longer accepted.
