Zazzle.co.uk offered <a href="http://www.cheaptruereligiononline.com/specials.html"><strong>levis jeans</strong></a> T-shirts in children's sizes bearing Kate Moss's quote: 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'A website that stocked a range of children's T-shirts bearing a controversial quote from Kate Moss has been censured by the Advertising Standards Authority.The T-shirts, proclaiming "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", were advertised on Zazzle.co.uk in April.Three people complained to the ASA, and Zazzle has been ordered to remove the advert, which campaigners feared could encourage <a href="http://www.cheaptruereligiononline.com/true-religion-skinny-jeans-c-239.html"><strong>true religion shop</strong></a> teenage girls to develop eating disorders.Moss, 37, caused outrage when she claimed in 2009 that she lived by the slogan. When asked in an interview with the fashion news website WWD whether she had any mottos, she replied: "There are loads of mottos. There's 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. <a href="http://www.cheaptruereligiononline.com/true-religion-bootcut-jeans-c-238.html"><strong>true religion outlet</strong></a> That's one of them."She added: "You try and remember, but it never works."The ASA ruled the ad must not appear again in its current form. A spokesman said: "We told Zazzle to ensure future ads were not irresponsible and, particularly where they were addressed to or depicted children, did not contain anything that was likely <a href="http://www.cdmsgk.com/plus/guestbook.php"><strong>BBC iPlayer app gets a new look on the PS3 now, other devices ...</strong></a> to condone or encourage an unsafe practice or to result in their physical, mental or moral harm."Zazzle said it had restricted the designs so they did not appear on children's clothing.Advertising Standards AuthorityKate Mossguardian.co.uk
