Ok I am literally weighing in on this debate. Certain TV conglomerates have refused to show this ad. They say it is too racy. Ok they say too racy for family hour. These are the same stations that run Victoria's secret commercials during that hour. Also what about the new Reebok shoe commercial where there is a butt in your face the whole time? I didn't even know it was a shoe commercial first time I saw it. Do I think it's biased? I do. I have heard arguments that its because with curvy women you get more breast. What are you serious? Have you guys even seen the push up bra commercials? I mean for a "big" girl she looks hot. I am a big girl too but let me tell you my body looks nothing like that. In my dreams maybe...but that's the point of advertising.Why can't bigger people be part of this ad game too? It's realistic and would defintely give people better body image and strive to look healthy. Watch the ad and weigh in your opinion. I am curious of what people think.

Oh well, I suppose banning this add, one would have to ban a whole lot of other adds, too. I don't know if it would be aired here in Germany. I suppose yes, but I'm not totally sure. However, I think there are things that are "more dangerous" than a woman in underwear, like movie previews (which often show lots of violence) or adds for alcohol... At least, that's what I think...
If you aren't a stick thin, 'lollipop' head model, you don't make the grade. Whatever!! The national average size is 16!!!! 2/3 of the nation is obese!!
But we can't have a hot, curvy model - nope, no way!! Too much breast! *laffs*
oh yes big girls with flat tummys, not the rea world, but as for trying to ban it, you cant see anything that you dont see on a beach, it done very tastefully, I dont find it offensive at all, Love the red set
I LOVE this ad, it shows women as they really are...not like the girls on spring break on MTV. Think about how many Viagra commercials we have to endure every evening after 8:00 pm, where are the censor's when we really need them?!!
I think it is wrong to single out this particular commercial. I have seen some pretty unacceptable commercials and for little eyes that see so much more than we hope they do, I think this is pretty mild in comparison.
