A TV advert that features a lingerie-clad woman caressing a carving knife and then scrubbing blood from the floor is causing controversy, just days after it hit the airwaves.
The ad for supermodel Elle Macpherson's Intimates lingerie line features several vignettes by fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti. One spot titled "Kitchen" begins with a woman in bra and knickers pensively handling a large knife, then segues to her scrubbing blood from the floor.
A middle segment, not shown on TV because it features frontal nudity but available on the company's Web site, has two naked women stalking each other in a knife fight. Macpherson said in a statement she loves the "cinematic mystery" of the ads.
The TV standards campaign group MediaWatch has said it plans to file a complaint with media regulator Ofcom. The ads, which also drew complaints when they were aired in Australia, will only be shown after 9 p.m. under guidelines set by the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre.
An Intimate print ad that showed a woman with her thumbs insider her knickers was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority in March.
What's the problem?
I'll bring the "gun".
Outright snuff porno is not far behind - just to sell bras.
That's disgusting! (The ad campaign, I mean, not the swimsuit photo ... although I would say that Elle is looking a bit ... older ... than she once was.)
Hubba hubba
It's not just for bras . . .
They have to come up with plots
for CSI, too . . .
Elle-derly?

LONDON (AFP) - As if Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" wasn't enough, Republicans can now get steamed up by a four-minute video of a ruthless dominatrix whipping US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) in the Oval Office.

For its 10th anniversary, upmarket London corset and lingerie boutique Agent Provocateur has put a clip on its website showing Bush, or rather an actor who looks like him, excitedly awaiting an after-lunch visit from his dom.
In she struts on killer black stilettos, tying up the leader of the free world by the wrists, then twisting his nipple with a plumber's wrench before performing a striptease and whipping him on his boyish white briefs.
The kinky seance reaches its climax when another man crawls into the room like a dog, dressed head to toe in black latex.
Off comes his hood, and it's a goofy-grinning look-a-like of British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites).
Would you believe "The Body" is 41?
