Nip-Slip Caused Calvin Klein's Ad Ban: Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes is furious with the censor board for allowing violence on TV screens and not her Calvin Klein TV ad that featured a nipple slippage.

Since the ad was pulled from U.S. TV networks last month (Aug08) before it aired, only few people have seen the Secret Obsession promo. The ad came under fire for being too provocative.

And now, Mendes thinks that she knows what all the fuss is about.

"That was me doing what I do… that is rolling around in sheets…

"I am the face of their new perfume 'Secret Obsession' I was rolling around in bed for the commercial spot. You know… I had a little situation… one of the girls (breasts) wanted to say hello without letting anybody know so she… basically I had a nipple slippage. It made the commercial because it was so natural and so beautiful and it was very quick."

The actress admits she's a little upset the sexy ad won't be seen on TV, she said, "We can show guns everywhere and stuff but we can't show a woman's nipple; that's a bit backwards to me."

The creative director for the commercial, Fabien Baron, earlier expressed his frustration at the commercial's rejection saying, "You must be kidding me. This country really needs a new president - this country is so messed up," said Baron.

"It's such a joke and it's quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It's OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.

"She is being a little sexy, but they are not provocative," added Baron. "They are really well done. The spot is really beautiful - I really can't believe this is happening.…I don't know what else to say."

Despite being pulled off the networks, or possibly because of being pulled off the networks, the commercial has become a rage on the internet, giving Calvin Klein a lot of publicity at no cost.
