It's weird how commercials get tagged as "banned' when they never actually were.
I've seen a bunch of aussie ones on youtube that were never banned.

P.S. That's pronounced OZZIE not OSSIE.

It's not a "Banned Ad".


Commercial Closet ( http://www.commercialcloset.org ) has a lot of these Gay-Lesbian-Bi-Transgender themed ads.

This one is here:

A Woman or Nearly

This ad, winner of a Publicists' Prize at the Festival du Film Publicitaire de Méribel 2002 (France), features a woman putting on her makeup and gyrating to music as she gets ready for a night on the town.

She's finishes, walks out of her bathroom into the living room and, in the dark, hits a table right between the legs with a hypermasculine yelp (dubbed) -- grabbing "her" crotch, now revealed as a man's (including the way it's held in pain).

The title of the ad says it all, which is that this commercial treads on much-paved ground with the not-so-innovative gender-switch "surprise." IKEA carried a far more creative effort in Spain in 1999, featuring a male-to-female transsexual after a hospital stay for the operation...

ummmmmmmmmm I've never seen that on any television commercial spot on any network I've watched, and NYC is one of the easiest places to spot commercials that are groundbreaking, so yeah that shit is banned............

[TomSelis]

Yeah, I think NYCe was talking about "Banned" in the sense that would NEVER be shown on American Television.

-P.S. I've seen something like that happen in real life.

Just because it wasn't shown in America doesn't mean it was banned.

[CORVETTEDUDE]

Yeah, we wouldn't want to show anything in America to upset the over-righteous Moral Majority, No would we??? :shrug
