Question Of The Day: Which Do You Think Is Racier: The Lane Bryant Ad Or DWTS Costumes?

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE RACY LANE BRYANT AD

Lane Bryant is not happy and is letting the world know about it on their blog, Inside Curve.
According to Lane Bryant, the blog states "it appears that 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."

They go on to say that ABC refused to show the commercial during “Dancing with the Stars” without restricting their airtime to the final moments of the show and that a few channels over, 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 they threatened to pull the ad buy.

Inside Curve then states, "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 during what they call “prime time.” "

Lane Bryant says the new commercials show the sensuality of the curvy woman who has more to show that a waif-like model!

Here's the commerical they are talking about, what you do think?

its just crazy that the heads of TV stations would not allow a tasteful harmless video.. but allow trashy tv shows with women wearing much less and more graphic scenes than a woman in a bra and panties.. GO FIGURE!!

Honestly - WHO CARES!?! It's all about ratings, which explains the oftentimes 'racy' outfits your female personalities doll-up in for the news...

I shop at Lane Bryant and considering that I myself am a plus size woman I feel that it is about freaking time that we finally get to share in the lime light. Do you know how hard it is to find pretty lingerie in plus size? I happy that I finally have the option and for a TV station to critique and say that it is inappropriate when there are shows during prime time that allow children to learn about sex and drugs are serious? This commercial actually enables women to realize that you do not have to be a waif and that we are beautiful no matter what your size is, so in reality, the TV network needs to get their heads out of Bart Simpsons crack and really check what is at stake here.

I think the Lane Bryant was done in good taste. It just showed full figure women can also wear and look good in their under garments. If that was racy, what about Victoria Secret. Full figure women are beautiful also...
