Beyonce's Fragrance Ad Banned on UK Daytime TV

I hope they run this here. It would help me lose weight because I wouldn't go to the fridge during the commercial!

*loosens collar* Yowza.


Kind of odd, because I've always thought of UK television as allowing a little more sexuality than US TV.

I'm not gonna lie... I was disappointed, lol! Don't get me wrong, she's as hot as they come but the song kinda ruined it for me, or rather her singing. She's definitely not bad but that song was just not her.

the song is better without her and she is better without the song.

other than that the commercial was sexy before she even entered.

it was one of those things where I felt the need to get up and move and look around the screen, as I was convinced that if I did, I'd see something more. As in bewbage. Definitely a call for 3-D. Well, is she a 3-D? at least a D. Maybe 2.

Me LIKEY! I don't see the need to ban it though. Look at a couple of minutes of most daytime soaps and you'll see more.

Yeah, it looks like it was made with an internet audience in mind. Is it being run on US TV? I'd imagine if it doesn't cut the mustard in the UK it almost certainly wouldn't make it on US network TV during the day.

I don't see why they would ban that except as a marketing ploy just to get people to look at it and stir up some hype.

Ridiculous commercial that has nothing to do with a fragrance whatsoever.

That being said, sweet baby jesus she's SMOKING hot!

Advertising has always been good at sexualizing content. She's a lovely woman, and makes it easy, as does the product and product name.

That said, in that song I always hear the line "Fever like Yogi Bear".

Beyonce is crazy hot but that might be the worst rendition of "Fever" I've ever heard.

As sexy as she is, Beyonce absolutely does not have that smoky chanteuse ability in her repertoire.

On mute though? Great commercial.

Maybe it got pulled because of how she butchered the song.
