This is an actual TV commercial. Boy, what they can get away with in Europe.

You know, I was debating if I should post "explicit" or something similar. In fact, I was debating posting it at all. Then I thought, wouldn't that simply be reinforcing what prudes we are in America (or wherever else it wouldn't be shown)? After all, it's on public television and anyone of any age can see it.

If it wasn't an actual television commercial I probably wouldn't even have posted it at all, even in this forum. But if it can get by whatever censors approved it over there it should be acceptable over here.

Also, explicit content on YouTube is either:

1) Not allowed
or
2) Posted in an area for "adults only" and labeled as possibly inappropriate, where you have to certify your age.

This one is in neither of those categories. Remember, it's not explicit unless she's actually doing what one initially thinks she is doing. lol tongue

The grenade, bungie cord, and cab are my favorites in that ad lol
That was a funny ad though, Europeans are quite relaxed about that sort of stuff. In the US the FCC would be all over that... and then it'd make national news ... and then co- well you get it
