ABC and fox Censors Plus-Size Pakaian dalam Ad - Airs Victoria Secret 

The debate -

Is this a double standard? Should lingerie ads of any sort be aired during prime time/family television? Is the Lane Bryant ad somehow more offensive than the Victoria Secret ad?

If it's true, then it definitely is a double standard that they would air a Victoria Secret ad and not Bryant's. Not that I care too much since I don't watch DWTS, but I see the precident set by ABC and Fox allegedly asking him to censor his product simply because the ladies have large boobehs and curves. The ad was no worse, in fact probably more timid than the alleged VS ad that aired before it.

So I've watched both adds. I personally think there's nothing wrong with both of them (but hey, I'm from the Netherlands :P)

The Lane Bryant add: it's quite tame, innocent. The lingerie is classy and so is the commercial. Yes, there's cleavage but that's about it.

The Victoria's Secret add: definitely a bit more out there. The image projected in the commercial is a more sexy,less classy than Lane Bryant's add. They understand that 'sex sells'

Like I said, I personally have nothing against both adds. But I think that the Victoria's Secret add is more sexy and don't see the problem that if you show that one, with the Lane Bryant add.

Double standard? Seems an awfull lot like it. I don't really know the reasons of the network for refusing it and the pessimist in me thinks that Victoria's Secret just pays more and therefor the network is more lenient.

As long as lingerie adds show people with lingerie on them should be fine during family television. There's nothing more to see on them than when you take your children to the beach (on the beach you might see more).

In no way I think the Lane Bryant add is more offensive than the Vicotoria's Secret add: I think it's kind of tame and innocent and also quite classy.

Ooooooooooooo I did not hear about this one. Thanks so much for posting this! It fits right into my thesis work.
