< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Call Them "Freedom Thighs"By now, you've likely seen the naked Calvin Klein perfume ad (for the new scent Secret Obsession) featuring actress Eva Mendes. No? As a public service to our readers, we present it in all its glory above. But make sure you catch it now, because the thing is, you won't be seeing it on TV anytime soon—and you can blame George W. Bush. American TV networks have said the spot is inappropriate and will not be shown in its current form. The move sent the ad's creative director, badass Frenchie Fabien Baron, into a fit of rage. And apparently the prudish move by U.S. networks is just one more reason to vote for Obama in November. When Baron heard the news of his ad's demise (on vacation in France, naturellement), he laid into the Prez, saying: "This country really needs a new president—this country is so messed up.... It's such a joke and it's quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It's OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea." Eva Mendes, saving babies from guns, one nipple slip at a time. Now that's a reason for patriotism, isn't it? While it is in fashion to blame the Bush Admin for just about everything under the sun these days...I really don't believe this particular issue will be solved under Obama or anyone else anytime soon. I can almost guarantee you that you will not see tits on network tv when Obama takes over. This doesn't seem to be a liberal vs republican issue. Wasn't it Tipper Gore who fought like crazy for rating systems on music and video games? That's not just about violence either, it's explicit lyrics, nudity, violence etc... We need an athiest or agnostic president if we're to shed all of these pesky decency laws. Posted by: hcantrall on August 5, 2008 7:22 PM Advertisement |
