A pub in Birmingham has been blasted for advertising beers on social media by using their barmaid's cleavage.
The assistant general manager of the pub, The Victoria, Ian Cole, said that they usually promote beers three or four times a week, and whoever is behind the bar on the particular day is pictured, be it a man or woman, the Mirror reported.
He continued saying that the girl behind the bar, Lucy Wedge, just happened to be wearing a vest that day but since there were some strong words used blaming them for "exploitation of female sexualisation", they took the picture down.
Meanwhile, 22-year-old Wedge said the snap wasn't a provocative one as she didn't pose with "her boobs out" and she doesn't see anything wrong with it.
