Store clerks working naked as marketing ploy - inappropriate or savvy?

Would you go to a business that has a naked staff in it? Would you take your children? What are your thoughts on this campaign?

I would go if they were hot. But seriously, I wouldn't not go because they're naked. I might not go because it was a gross sight to see. However, I assume they make sure the employees are attractive anyway.

I wouldn't mind so much taking my kids. There's nothing wrong with nudity. I wouldn't take them to a strip club (unless they were 18 at least), but that's because that is a very sexualized nudity.

I wonder if the employees get hazard pay for this.

I have in the past, so I guess I might. I wouldn't go buy soap just because the sales staff were naked, though.

I don't have any, but if I did, I probably wouldn't.

I think that if you need to use nudity to sell soap, it's probably not very good soap.

The one male doing this must either be gay or have a seriously disciplined member.
