An advert for plus-size bras has been banned on American television because it is thought to be too raunchy for viewers.
Network executives pulled the commercial starring full-figured model Ashley Graham over fears that it was revealing just too much cleavage. Plus-size lingerie firm Lane Bryant was planning to air the advert this week during a break in Dancing With The Stars. But ABC network chiefs refused to screen it, sparking claims that they were discriminating against larger models.
A source at Lane Bryant said: 'The cleavage of the plus-size model, they said, was excessive, and we don't think that's the case.
'Our new commercials represent the sensuality of the curvy woman who has more to show the world than the typical waif-like lingerie model. 'What we didn't know was that the networks, which regularly run Victoria's Secret and Playtex advertising on the very shows from which we're restricted, would object to a different view of beauty.'
A Fox spokesman insisted: 'We didn't treat them any differently than Victoria's Secret.'
ABC declined to comment.

Re: No big tits for you Yanks!
It's a bit hard to not have excessive cleavage when you have large tits (I would imagine).
I think the shots are a tad cheesy, but not offensive at all.

Bah!

I call bullshit. Why should the well-endowed be discriminated against? Those VS ads are exactly the same, but with skinny, ABC-cup models. 
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

On behalf of the men here I would like to add my support for more lingerie adverts featuring young ladies like the one above, and less stick insects...

I don't like big teats. 
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Me neither, but the girl pictured is very easy on the eye, and, I should imagine, would be fun to bed.

The black bustier isn't really flattering to her shape, but otherwise, I agree with Gob.
