'Skinny Dip'
Bud Light, 2007
Spot Remover: This low-calorie beer advert was rejected, because the network couldn't stomach even the illusion of a guy and girl skinny dipping 'naked' in a pool. True, they're being ogled by obviously tarted up partygoers caught up in snapping pictures from the bar beneath the waterline, but to us it looks like some good, clean fantasy. Hey, they don't even touch one another! No doubt, if these two were green frogs this spot would have run.
A Likely Sponsor: 'Lost' -- it's a stretch but -- water, more water, and the unrelenting desire to drink a lot of beer...
Most Offended: All those creepy guys wishing they had been the one hanging out poolside.

4. The censors don't want phone calls from "The Religious Trite" -- do they?
Oh God ! We wouldnt want to upset all those Evangelical home-schooling cow mothers who are raising little Zombies for the Republicans to cannibalize in their future elections.
Their children might realize they were the product of S-E-X and start destroying their brain-washed curriculums. They might notice they have sexual organs. Please, Jesus, not that !!!!!

7. Hey wowza, I am an "evangelical homeschooling cow mother" who finds the ad quite humorous and S-E-X quite enjoyable. So you may want to watch your stereotypes. All they do is cause more strife in this already screwed up world.

9. Children would of had no idea that those two were supposed to be naked. Get over it.

10. I know why people would have a problem with it: they left a messy pile of clothes by the pool. I always leave mine in a neat pile before I skinny dip.

14. Another evangelical homeschooling cow mother here just wanting to say to watch who you stereotype!! I loved the commercial and didnt see any reason why it should have been banned and guess what??? My child actually knows where her genitals are and knows what they are for!! Imagine that!! I dont need the government telling my child what she should know and our curriculum has many lessons on sex!
