Banned Sex in Advertising -video

I suppose I could have saved this for "Sex in Advertising", but it might have lost a bit of its topical flavor.




Brazil's ministry for women has called for a TV advertisement featuring supermodel Gisele Bundchen in her underwear to be suspended.

The ministry has asked the advertising authorities to ban the lingerie ad, which it says "reinforces the erroneous stereotyping of women as sex objects".

In the ad, a scantily-clad Ms Bundchen distracts her husband while telling him bad news, such as damaging the car.


Are they suggesting to take the "bra" out of "Brazil"? I don't know about you, but she could wreck my car, any day!
