The European Parliament has voted with an overwhelming majority that the advertising industry needs to check itself when printing sexist or stereotypical advertisements. Agencies won't face legal consequences if they continue developing ads sexist in nature, but they will face what The New York Times calls a scolding [1] for "sexual stereotyping."

Lawmakers have taken offense to ads such as those featuring Mr. Clean and this Dolce & Gabbana print ad. Are you offended, too?
