BBC - Television channels in India have been ordered not to broadcast "overtly sexual" deodorant adverts that use female models in racy story lines. "The ads brim with messages aimed at tickling libidinous male instincts," India's information ministry said in a statement. The ministry said that the adverts offended "good taste and decency" and appeared "indecent, vulgar and suggestive" by subtly sending a message that the products "arouse women's sexuality". It said that they portrayed women as "lustily hankering after men under the influence of such deodorants".
Sounds like someone in the Indian government has a serious case of BO.
Seriously what other reason could you have for banning these commercials? What I'm about to say may be stereotyping (ok it definitely is), but generally speaking, people from India, well, they stink. Like they smell bad. And it's not always just the smell of curry. I mean its a foul BO. I really don't want to be rude, but the odor can be quite offensive. Not all Indians, but enough for me to be sitting here stereotyping ya'll.
So really, is an advertising campaign aimed to getting men to clean themselves and practice proper hygiene such a bad thing? And if you score some strange Punjabi Poon out of the deal, isn't that just a bonus?
