Calvin Klein Ad: Eva Mendes’ Calvin Klein Video Banned In America
Posted on August 4, 2008
Eva Mendes’ new Calvin Klein ad features the sultry actress flashing a nipple. The Calvin Klein ad has now been banned from TV in America, resulting in a heap of free press for CK and its new fragrance. See the video link after the bump!
Gorgeous actress, Eva Mendes, is in the new Calvin Klein lingerie ads. And the new video for the perfume is causing quite a buzz!
Could Calvin Klein have done this on purpose knowing being “banned” would cause quite a stir in the press?
A Calvin Klein exec says it’s “not entirely” a surprise that the ad showing Hitch starlet Eva Mendes writhing around naked on a bed (covered only by a strategically rumpled sheet) has been rejected by US networks.
The creative director behind it is maintaining a sense of righteous outrage, but this is clearly a well-executed textbook case of manufacturing controversy for publicity.
Creative director Fabien Baron was flabbergasted that Mendes’ nipple flash was deemed unacceptable for Middle American sensibilities:
“You must be kidding me. This country really needs a new president — this country is so messed up,” said Baron. “It’s such a joke and it’s quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It’s OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.
“She is being a little sexy, but they are not provocative,” added Baron. “They are really well done. The spot is really beautiful — I really can’t believe this is happening.…I don’t know what else to say.”
So the company will run an edited version, the racier cut will be an online smash, the new perfume gets a ton of free media, and Eva Mendes can raise her asking price for her next film ever so slightly. It’s all quite repetitive, isn’t it? That won’t stop anyone from watching this ad though.
Eva admitted she was “thrilled” that the ad was considered too saucy for US broadcast.
Eva, 33, said: “I love it. That means the ads are totally Calvin, totally provocative and a little controversial.”
She continued: “In the commercial you’ll see me rolling around in bed a lot, that’s basically all I do. I have been a fan of Calvin Klein’s Obsession ads since I can remember.”
She added: “I love to feel super-feminine. I love dresses and skirts and dislike jeans.
“I think what makes a woman sexy is confidence.”
