French clothing company, La Redoute has been left red-faced regarding an ad on their website. In the foreground of the advertisement in question, four young children play happily on a beach. In the background, a naked guy is going for a relaxing, pants-free stroll.

Yes, it seems EVERYONE who worked on this image failed to notice the obvious elephant (perhaps that’s generous) in the room:

Only after visitors to the website picked it up did La Redoute pull the ad from its site and apologized on its Facebook page:

La Redoute apologizes for the photo published on its site and is taking steps to remove it. We have opted to delete all posts, including this picture. We are aware that it may offend the sensitivities of web surfers. We will strengthen the validation process of all brand communications so this can not happen again in the future.
