So, this ad for Lane Bryant was banned by ABC and FOX because it was deemed “not appropriate for family hours” or something to that effect. Of course, there is now controversy over the matter, because there are those who believe that the ad was pulled because the lead female, Ashley Graham, is a “plus-sized” model (which the average American does not want to see, apparently). Considering that ABC and FOX have no qualms about airing Victoria’s Secret ads on their networks, I would think this theory holds some water. So, for those keeping score at home, half-naked chicks in lingerie are cool, as long as they fit the conventional definition of beauty, but bigger girls in lingerie is a no-no. After all, there ARE children watching. We certainly can’t have them making their own judgments as to who or what is beautiful.
What I don’t get is, are there actually guys out there who find Ashley Graham unattractive? If this chick is “fat,” then I LOVE fat chicks. And I hate the American standard of beauty. Ashley, you can text me anytime.
