    The commercial:


    Her reaction:


    How stupid, I mean what message are they sending to people banning such a commercial? ABC refused to show it during/after Dancing With The Stars because it shows "too much skin", now I am sorry but the irony of that is sickening. She is a beautiful woman and it is nice to see them portrayed in the media, shame the broadcasters are too narrow minded.

    Typical pathetic American moral puritanism. TBH that country is still in the dark ages in social terms - no problem executing someone with a firing squad but a bit of flesh is deemed obsecne.

    A society with a very warped sense of priorities.:(

    Or it a could be a ploy of actually getting some "controversy" going to get the product and the model noticed. Banning pop songs in the past made them go to No.1.

    Relax, anyone?:cool:

    By the fact that you are shocked I take it you have never tried watch an R rated film on a major American TV Network?

    A little late to the punch, OP.
    Remember yesterday, when we wrote about some major TV networks balking over whether or not to air a sexy Lane Bryant lingerie ad? Well, it looks like Fox -- the arbiter of good taste in prime time -- has decided to not be so prim and proper, and will actually air the commercial.
    According to BrandWeek, the spot will run during the April 28 broadcast of American Idol. "Following Lane Bryant's refusal to make requested edits, Fox agreed to air the unedited ad during the last 10 minutes," the site quotes a source as saying.
    Meanwhile, ABC, who Lane Bryant said would only air the ad during the final seconds of Dancing With the Stars, denies the allegations:
    “
    Their statements are not true. The ad was accepted. Lane Bryant was treated absolutely no differently than any advertiser for the same product. We were willing to accommodate them, but they chose to seek publicity instead.”

    Honestly? One of the two on the right, or maybe lonad's choice :). The subject of the OP would be much bigger than I personally like. And thats grand. Im clearly in the minority.

    Plus its still BS. Look at how the video is cut. If they're "celebrating her curves" than why do they not show her curves? The long shot of her has her wearing a dressing gown type thingy that covers said curves. If she was a victoria secrets model they wouldnt have. The ad is all about her face and tits, everything else is hidden. As I say, the usual BS.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I noticed that as well, I kept thinking, how stupid this is that they wouldnt show her ass, which is probably just as nice as the rest of her.
