Dolce & Gabbana have come under fire for a 2007 ad that depicts the gang rape of a woman who is being restrained as a group of men look on
Publicist Kelly Cutrone posted the ad on Twitter, noting; 'I guess simulating gang bangs are fine - but IVF and same sex marriage are not'
The ad was ultimately pulled soon after it ran back in 2007, though the duo referred to people who were offended as 'a bit backward'
This just days after designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were attacked when they called IVF babies 'synthetic'

Dolce said that the comment was taken out of context, noting that all families are 'legitimate'
Dolce & Gabbana have come under fire again, this time for an ad that depicts the gang rape of a woman.
Just days after designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce called children born through IVF 'synthetic,' critics of the brand have publicized the brand's highly controversial Spring/Summer 2007 campaign ad that showed a woman being restrained by a bare-chested man as a group of men in various states of undress look on.
The advertisement was banned from being used in Italian publications after it ran several times when it was determined that it 'offended the dignity of the woman,' and pulled in the United States after running just once in an issue of Esquire.
When the ad was first pulled in Spain, the design duo referred to the people of that country as 'a bit backward.'

An ad from the same campaign shot that featured the men dressed and in which the woman was not restrained did run in magazines (abovePublicist Kelly Cutrone posted the ad to her Twitter account on Sunday, writing; 'I GUESS SIMULATING GANG BANGS ARE FINE - BUT IVF AND SAME SEX MARRIAGE ARE NOT - LIFE ACCORDING TO @dolcegabbana.'
The ad actually features one of Cutrone's former costars on the MTV reality series The City, model Adam Senn.
The duo also depicted a group sex scene featuring all men in another ad that was slightly more graphic, though the man, unlike the woman, was not being restrained.
Dolce said in the most recent issue of Panoroma magazine; 'You are born and you have a father and a mother. At least it should be like that.
'That's why I'm not convinced by what I call chemical children, synthetic babies.
'They are wombs for hire, semen chosen from a catalogue. And then you have to explain to these children who their mother is.'
This after the men chose motherhood as the theme of their Fall/Winter 2015 fashion show held earlier this month in Milan.
Parents of IVF babies, among them Elton John, Al Roker, and Ricky Martin, came out against the two following these statements, as did celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Courtney Love.
