Fox and ABC Censor Plus-Size-Lingerie Ad, but Not Victoria's Secret
In the wise words of Beyoncé, it doesn't seem Fox and ABC are ready for all that jelly ... at least when it's attached to a plus-size model.
According to BrandWeek, both major networks have either censored or banned sexy lingerie ads by plus-size clothiers Lane Bryant.
The clothing company for size 14–32 women took to its own Inside Curve blog to explain the frustrating matter to fans. As the company puts it:
"ABC and Fox have made the decision to define beauty for you by denying our new, groundbreaking Cacique commercial from airing freely on their networks. ABC restricted our airtime and refused to show the commercial during "Dancing With the Stars." Fox demanded excessive re-edits and rebuffed it three times before relenting to air it during the final 10 minutes of "American Idol," but only after we threatened to pull the ad buy. Yes, these are the same networks that have scantily clad housewives so desperate they seduce every man on the block, and don't forget Bart Simpson, who has shown us the moon more often than NASA, all in what they call 'family hour.'"
So, what's the real issue? Read on to see the video -- and curves -- causing all the commotion.
