Eva Mendes' Racy New Ad

Posted at 06:07 PM | | CommentsComments (9)

There's a lot of buzz on the interwebs about Eva Mendes' Calvin Klein ad that showed so much skin, it's been banned from U.S. television.

I just wanted to remind the world that before Eva revealed her smoldering body for CK (a designer who WON'T use fur, by the way), she bared it all for the animals. How hot is Eva?!?!

Not only do PETA and CK share a friendship with Eva and a dislike of fur—PETA has also had one or two ads banned from TV in our day. Heck, who are we kidding—we’ve had dozens. View our favorite banned ads here!

damn, I wish I had in common her body, but I do have in common her compassion. Ban Fur, it is cruel and ugly.

How can people say Eva nude is inappropriate for television?,when we have people on America's Got Talent forceing their cats to stand upright and push pushchairs with dogs inside.Go Eva!,I'd rather go nude too,its more natural then wearing fur or skin.

I encourage PETA to remain true to its values and to maintain high standards when advertising. Posting extreme nudity to make a point is not acceptable, in my view. Taking advantage of a human beheading is totally unacceptable and I am disappointed with PETA!

the reason its 100% a good thing for PETA to use nudity/sexuality in their advertising is that its the most effective marketing ploy. it grabs everyones attention. even if its only in a primal way, it grabs peoples attention and yes, a lot of them may not be interested in the content of the message beyond the hot girl...but some people will, perhaps out of sheer boredom, go ahead and read on. a lot of people are like that. like pinball machines, once you've grabbed their attention, you can shoot their focus in the right direction...and the racy advertisements are the bait...

Daunna,

Where do you see "extreme nudity"? I've seen more skin in art and photography galleries. It's a tasteful pic, and a beautiful human body.
