Eva Mendes’ nipple gets Calvin Kline ad banned
Calvin Klein’s new ad featuring Eva Mendes and her nipple has been banned from most U.S. broadcast networks.
In the commerical for CK’s Secret Obsession, Eva is featured rolling around naked on an unmade bed. “Between love and madness lies obsession,” Eva says in a lustful tone. “Love…madness. It’s my secret.” So, what’s the problem? Well, the actress starts to caress her breasts and then — ooops! — a little nipple action flashes on the screen. The whole scene proved a little too tittilating for TV execs.
The U.S. ban on the perfume ad is not surprising to the folks at Calvin Klein. “We believe the commercial is exceptional and hits the mark for Secret Obsession,” Tom Murry, president and chief operating officer of Calvin Klein Inc., told the New York Daily News. “We are anticipating a very successful global launch.”
Don’t worry guys, you’ll still get to see plenty of Eva in an edited version of the CK perfume commercial and she’s also appearing in print ads for Calvin Klein underwear.
