Shouldn't Hailee Steinfeld, the 14-year-old actress who played Mattie Ross in the 2010 movie "True Grit," know better than to sit on those unsafe railroad tracks?
By Verena von Pfetten, Styleite
The Miu Miu ad featuring Hailee Steinfeld crying on a railroad track has been banned, but why? She’s not underdressed, or even inappropriately dressed. Nor is she too skinny or clutching a flower-shaped perfume bottle to her private parts or posed in a compromising position.
Instead, the British Advertising Standards Authority (which appears to have some sort of banned ad quota they’re trying to meet by the end of the year) has pulled Miu Miu’s ad from circulation because it depicts a child in an unsafe position.
To their point, train tracks are not a particularly safe place to sit, but as Prada (Miu Miu’s parent company) notes, Steinfeld “could have easily moved from where she was sitting because she was not restrained in any way.”

+7I lived by the tracks and sat on them for the first 18 years of my life.. If you can't hear the train or feel the tracks vibrate you deserve to get hit.

- 49er 2011/11/27 02:56:56Omg..........you've got to be kidding+1Sitting on railroad tracks is common. Why is everything today getting banned? The government doesn't like and it gets banned! This is no suicide attempt this is just somebody sitting on the tracks I think they would know if a train was coming.reply

- Dean Butler 2011/11/26 13:43:55Omg..........you've got to be kidding+2They can pull an add because they feel it may teach our children to do something dangerous, but if a parent smacks their child on the back side teaching them right from wrong we could go to jail for abuse. I think I'm getting the picture, we just use picture cards to teach our kids, If its wrong it has the infamous red circle with a line through it , that will teach them..... any idea where we get the flash cards?

- tony 2011/11/24 06:24:01Undecided+4It's stupid to pull the add. What's even more stupid are the kids who imitate "art". A few years back there was a movie called The Program with James Caan. In the trailer it showed the football players laying down on the center line of a street in traffic. By the time I saw the movie that scene had been removed. Why? Because retarded kids saw it and decided to do it too and were run over by the cars and killed. Kids are dumb. It's amazing that any of us make it to our 20's.reply
