Eva Mendez Perfume Commercial Banned: Too Hot for US Market

A Calvin Klein perfume commercial featuring a nude and writhing Eva Mendes has been banned from the airwaves by several US broadcast networks for being too sexy.

The problem seems to be 1/2 second of nipple self-fondling.  Who could be against that?

Bosses at national broadcasting stations are refusing to air the commercial for the company's Secret Obsession fragrance, in which the nude star writhes seductively on a bed and caresses her nipples.

The fashion company’s heads insist they weren't surprised by the TV network executives' decisions to reject the campaign--but maintain they will stand by the advertisement.

Tom Murry, president of Calvin Klein Inc., tells the New York Daily News, "We believe the commercial is exceptional and hits the mark for Secret Obsession.

"We are anticipating a very successful global launch."

A censored clip is expected to be shown on U.S. cable networks after the 9 p.m. watershed, while the unedited version will air in full in other countries.

Of course it has nothing to do with her fondling her nipples but everything to do with the fact that her bare boobs are there for all to see.  This type of commercial is commonplace in Europe where the human body is considered no big deal.  In America however.......

Eva Mendes' human body is a big deal.

A much better deal than Janet Jackson's pastie.

I think Mary-Louise Parker put on a better show in the latest episode of "Weeds".

The problem may be YouTube rating it for adults, screwing up the embed.
