The link above is a banned commercial I from the UK that I saw on a special about infamously banned TV commercials. While I didn't think the spot was overly sexual or anything, I guess the UK thought the woman in her underwear was inappropriate. Funny how here in the US we probably would think nothing of it. Besides that fact, the spot was for Levi's jeans. The commercial lasted over a minute with some sort of woman-spy storyline going on that I just did not connect with. New idea for Levi's: Don't try to put us in a James Bond movie plot only to have a woman put on your jeans to advertise the product. Top this with the fact that the African American man in the bathroom seemed to be completely unnecessary. I just do not think Levi's hit a homerun with this ad. I didn't understand it. And neither did the Brits! Strike three, you're out.
