PLUS SIZE LINGERIE AD "TOO HOT" OR "TOO FAT" FOR TV?

The controversial Lane Bryant ad featuring a plus size model in lingerie continues to make 
headlines after ABC and Fox networks rejected airing it during their "Family Hour."

LB wanted the commercial to air during American Idol, but Fox said it was too 
racy. After the bad press as to why the commercial didn't meet broadcasting standards as 
opposed to other ultra sexy ads like Victoria's Secret, apparently Fox has now decided to air the commercial during next Wednesday's Idol results show.

But the claims by Fox and LB are far from over. Lane Bryantsays Fox is discriminating 
against large women with 
bigger breasts, while Fox 
stands firm it's a non-issue 
and Lane Bryant is 
just looking for publicity. 


Where is Nicey Nash when 
we need her?

ISH Question: Do you think 
this Lane Bryant ad is too hot
for TV or discrimination?
