    Clever, but probably not suitable for any of the American networks.

    I didn't watch much TV when I lived in London, but I do remember the ads were very different from the kind that air here. Definitely a little less prudish (more skin). There were a lot of ads for singles chat rooms that remind me of infomercials.

    In places like Germany and France, the ads are different from the UK and the US.

      Japan commercials are quite different also! To me, Japan is much more prudish on commercials than the US, but outside of the commercials, a different story!

        Cute, and yes, American networks probably wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot . . . whatever.

          IMO, the *thrust of the ad might be misconstrued.

            We are too uptight about little <ahem> things, but degenerate in others. I mean, you couldn't show a commercial like this or a condom commercial on network TV, yet we have Viagra commercials during the evening news and stupid shows like "The Jersey Shore", etc., which send the opposite message.

              Hilarious! PTL for the internet...otherwise we'd never get to see gems like this one.
