sexism in advertising
In many commercials it is still the men who drink beer and drive fast cars, while the women cook and do laundry, therefore members of the European Parliament want EU countries to ban gender stereotyping in advertising. In the United States this could never pass under the First Amendment, but is it a good idea if the state tries to regulate ethical standards this way?

Whats even stranger is that a EUROPEAN body is up in arms about racy commercials. When I was in europe it did not appear that a whole lot was considered taboo in advertising.
