In the money section of USA TODAY yesterday there was an article about the
ads at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, France, saying,
"Sex sells.  They also show greater tolerance for raciness abroad than in
the USA."

Among the four examples of the "saucier ads" from other countries was
this:
"an infant nestled between his mother's bare breasts--the baby's first
'airbags'--in a Volvo print ad from agency Heads/Young & Rubicam in
Brazil."

It's an interesting article in light of the breastfeeding in public issue,
and I found myself amused that a baby between his mom's beasts was labeled
sexy and racy...
