According to E! Online:

“Calvin Klein has opted for black and white again in its latest scent ad. Most TV stations, however, have simply opted for black.”

The latest Cavin Klein commercial, flaunting a bare Eva Mendes tossing and turning in bed (think Britney Spears in the commercial for her fragrance “Curious,” but less trashy) is apparently too hot for the American audience. Perhaps the Janet Jackson Superbowl incident has made us ever so sensitive to boobs.

The “problem” with the commercial is that Eva’s nipples are showing. I’m surprised the creative group over at Calvin Klein actually thought this would make it through American television. Well, it’s not. Sorry, America. This version will only be airing uncensored in Europe.

For all you history buffs, this isn’t the first time Calvin Klein has made a risqué ad. Check out then 16-year-old Brooke Shields in her 1981 “nothing gets in between me and my Calvins” campaign: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK2VZgJ4AoM]

All I have to say is Janet’s nipples didn’t even show and she still went through all that drama for nothing!
