With fashion advertisements constantly pushing the boundries of what's acceptable to show to the public, it comes as no surprise that Marc Jacobs - a brand that has recently been slammed for portraying Dakota Fanning a la Lolita style in a fragrance ad - would come out with a sunglasses ad featuring a man who appears to be masturbating in public.

Seen above, the man - who was discovered to be an employee from the brand's retail store in SoHo - is initially seen from behind, making a movement with his right arm which indicates that he is pleasuring himself in the middle of a park. The ad then cuts to a frontal shot of him, and it is revealed that he is merely cleaning his sunglasses. Before leaving the frame of the shot, he gives the camera a wry smile.

The video was posted by Jacobs' Twitter, with the caption, "Hey you, don't be shady!" Some people have been quick to slam the ad, calling it distasteful and inappropriate; however, I almost find it refreshing in a sea of hypersexualized advertisements featuring women with little to nothing on their bodies!

What do you think of the ad - all in good fun or downright lewd?
