Commercials with even a hint of sexuality is pushing it for some. I found these to be amusing, but then I'm rather odd.

I was in France in the late '80s and saw full frontal nudity commercials. Wonder what they are now.

There were plenty at the old DU.

I posted a picture once, in a thread entitled "Show us what you think is sexy". The picture was of a group of 3 men, hiding their goodies behind some well place melons. The thread wasn't just locked, it was deleted entirely, with no explanation, rhyme or reason given. When I questioned it, I was told that it was sexually explicit. Really? The funny thing? It was an ad for testicular cancer and making sure you checked yourself.
