'Sexually Provocative' Dakota Fanning Perfume Ad Banned In UK

London (CNN) -- An advertisement for Marc Jacobs perfume featuring teenage actor Dakota Fanning has been banned in Britain because it "sexualized children."
The ad, for Marc Jacobs "Oh, Lola!" fragrance, featured Fanning, the child star of "War of the Worlds" and "I am Sam" wearing a short dress and holding an oversized bottle of the scent in her lap.
Four readers complained that the photograph -- which appeared in two British magazines in August -- was "offensive and irresponsible," for showing Fanning, 17, "in a sexualized manner."

She was in a movie where she was assaulted that was highly criticized for the same thing.

What's a "Dakota Fanning'? An air purifier system used in the midwest?

Even a bottle of scent that size won't help.

It didn't look provocative to me.
she wasn't even showing any skin like most ads do that try to sell you with sex.
