UK ASA bans M&S ad for featuring an "unhealthily thin" model.

The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned a Marks & Spencer (M&S) ad featuring a model deemed "unhealthily thin." The ASA deemed the image irresponsible due to the model's pose and clothing, which emphasized her thinness. M&S apologized and removed the image, stating they aim to reflect their size range from 8 to 24 in their advertising. Three other reported images were not banned.
