Keira Knightley Chanel ad banned from UK TV
By Tribute on February 14, 2013 | 7 Comments
After much deliberation, Keira Knightley‘s Chanel ad has been banned from UK TV – at least, during children’s television shows. The commercial – which advertises Coco’s Mademoiselle perfume – has been deemed “overtly sexual.” The ad depicts The Pirates of the Caribbean actress being photographed on a bed while the photographer helps her unzip her clothing; then she begins to undress herself. The ad aired during a showing of Ice Age: The Meltdown, causing a string of complaints from parents. The Advertising Standards Authority then stepped in and made a decision on the future of the ad. According to Entertainmentwise.com they said: “ […] there was clear sexual tension between the pair and that they [Keira and the photographer] appeared about to kiss on the bed. We considered the ad was suitable for older children, but that the sexually suggestive material was unsuitable for young children.” The ASA has asked that the current ad not be broadcast during or around programs that could attract a young audience. Other ads banned in the UK by the Advertising Standards Authority include a Marc Jacobs perfume ad featuring Dakota Fanning because she looks like a baby hooker in it and a Julia Roberts ad for being misleading.

She has poor choice when it comes to movie roles, so I’m not surprised she agreed to be in a tacky ad.
Yes, but does the perfume smell good?
Use your heads people. An abuse of authority commercial? Hey kids, it’s ok for the photographer to ask you to get on a bed and he can touch you and take off your clothes for you and kiss you. It’s all good cause you smell wonderful. Geebus.
Idiots !
she looks hungry
Gosh this is ridiculous I’ve seen the ad a few times and nothing actually happens. You don’t see her naked or anything. Besides doesn’t every child see a naked person eventually?

Most themes today have them but some do not. Alternatively you could shop around and get an estimate from some other builder for this work and compare it to your bfs costs; it might be more attractive for you to keep him out of the loop altogether..This is practised across the . Proceeds go to missions. This finishes the task.. However, this is a visual event so looking like you would fit in at the companies with which you are networking goes a long way in making a great first impression.
