That is in incredibly poor taste, whether it was created as an actual ad or a joke.

I agree with you but whether is a joke or for real, we're talking about it.

I think it is in poor taste also, but you do make a good point Marylander.

Freedom of speech and poor taste aren't mutually exclusive.

Madonna - do we still even talk about her? Obviously here, yes (but she is last century's news).

 

As for this - ++1 for extreme poor taste, but agree - Freedom of speech and poor taste aren't mutually exclusive.

It's Marine Le Pen, daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen and leader of the Front National (the nasty far-right party in France)

Sometimes when you are aiming for cutting-edge humor you have to put your neck on the line.

Well since this party is in Israel, i am not sure American standards of taste prevail for those who may attend such a party.

For me, terrible taste. Cruel imagery. The men are beautiful on the outside but lose any appeal for me when paired with such an ugly movement. Similarly, sexy Teutonic men in Nazi uniforms, are not hot in my mind.
