I wouldn't say it glorifies gang rape since it's just the one man holding her down, but it's gone one step further than your average billboards degrading women in terms of girls simply posing in their underwear. And to me, that one step is quite a big one, hence the reactions and uproar it's caused. Whilst it may not offend everyone, at this stage it does offend others.

Precisely Ice_maiden. I agree. One step further. Just over the borderline. Enough to shock some people, to obtain publicity. It's already achieved it's own goal. Example - when a song is banned, what happens? Answer - it goes straight in the charts at no 1. Nuff said.
