It’s true! A double standard like no other it seems.
“ABC and Fox have made the decision to define beauty for you by denying our new, groundbreaking Cacique commercial from airing freely on their networks,” Lane Bryant says.
“Yes, these are the same networks that have scantily clad housewives so desperate they seduce every man on the block — and don’t forget Bart Simpson, who has shown us the moon more often than NASA, all in what they call ‘family hour.’
Well, see for yourself what these networks thought you shouldn’t see:
First, Seriously ABC? Aren’t you the same network that showed a bare ass and paid over a million bucks in fines just to do it? This commercial is harmless as far as obscenity goes. The only thing that this commercial does besides sell the hell out of those garments is to make women feel comfortable in their skin.
Gurl, I am surprised that more people haven’t commented on this!
Oh it’s all over the web! And talk shows and and and…but yes! I completely agree. And honestly, don’t the Dove ads show more, too? Not to mention Victoria’s Secret and all of that. Meh! It’s all so obvious to me. Thanks for commenting/reading.
