Oh I'm absolutely sure it attracted attention, that was never under dispute.
My post is simply saying that I find it distasteful. Its efficacy as a means to get clicks is quite obvious.
There is an ethical line however, otherwise we'd all be advertising our startups with naked Abercrombie & Fitch models. And that line (call it comfort level) is going to sit differently with different people.
Perhaps it's my relatively conservative British upbringing, but this type of stuff just doesn't sit well with me!
