Hi,
This ad was banned because of the controversy over her Like A Prayer music video at the time. The black jesus the burning crosses etc, all of which the catholic church found offensive therefore Pepsi refused to feature the video in their commercial any longer and banned it from been shown on TV! Madonna still walked away with her 5 million dollar fee for her appearance so i don't think it will have bothered her either way lol. If anything the ban probably done more to promote her song.
Thanks for the comments guys. I am not involved in advertising yet I have a degree in Marketing and Management. But, I love to see what is weird (sexy) and why advertisement have been banned. I was hoping, like many other topics on the Lush Forum, there would be some interesting conversations.

Kate Upton was way too hot for the Super Bowl so they would not allow this one to air. If you look closely, her boob pops out on purpose a few times through out the commercial. Director's Cut - online only :60 version of Drive-In featuring Kate Upton A spicy twist on a classic burger, the new Southwest Patty Melt features a charbroiled beef patty, with sliced jalapeños, grilled onions, pepper-Jack cheese and spicy Santa Fe sauce, all on grilled sourdough bread.

THIS ONE HAS NOT BEEN BANNED YET....
We now bring you this surprising news: Britain's Advertising Standards Authority has reviewed a fashion ad and found it to be... totally acceptable.
"Fleurs du Mal," a film showcasing Agent Provocateur's Soiree collection, was submitted for review to the ASA back in November after receiving a single complaint.
The film features a woman in a silky robe getting a "prank phone call" with no one on the other end. Suddenly, lingerie-clad women start popping up everywhere, slinking around and dragging her into a room where they... well, it's not clear. They sort of pose over her threateningly, touch each other and stare intensely while scary music plays in the background.
According to the ASA, "the complainant challenged whether the ad was offensive, because she believed it was disturbing and misogynistic."
The verdict, handed down today? The "disturbing" part can be accounted for by the film's inspiration, classic 1950s Hammer horror films. And the misogyny? Agent Provocateur "tried to communicate with a sense of humour and did not condone violence" nor offense to women in any way, writes the ASA.
Check out the (NSFW) ad below and let us know your thoughts. Funny? Scary? Offensive? Just plain creepy?

It's hard to believe we still live in a world where Madonna is considered too sexy for things, but ABC blushed at the ad for her Truth or Dare fragrance and won't show it. If only the Super Bowl had been so discriminating. It's more likely ABC was creeped out by the Material Girl, 53, saying her mother's "feminine and mysterious" perfume had anything to do with inspiring an ad where she rolls around in her underwear and talks about what a bad girl she is. On its own, though, the ad is pretty tame by current pop-culture standards. Hell, that Wayne's World skit she did back in the day was racier than this.

It is later revealed that her mother was in a room concealed from view, having sex. In that moment the boy ask her mom who is in the state of ecstasy, her answer appears to be "Yes, yes, yes."

New Zealand airport officials deny they lack a sense of humour, despite banning a billboard with a lacy bra-clad Jennifer Hawkins clutching a stuffed rhino with the caption: "Feeling horny?"

The slew of steamy Go Daddy ads featuring "Go Daddy Girls" like Danica Patrick profited heavily from being leaked online. The banned status itself is a great way to grab consumer attention.
Then there is the infamous "Veggie Love" from PETA, featuring women engaging in steamy foreplay with vegetables and declaring that vegetarians have better sex.

The UK advertising watchdog has banned a campaign by the retailer American Apparel for using a partially nude model, who appeared to be under 16, in a series of images that suggested she was "stripping off for an amateur-style photo shoot".
American Apparel's press campaign, which appeared in Vice magazine, featured a series of images of a young-looking girl in states of undress.
The Advertising Standards Authority received a complaint that it was offensive, unsuitable to appear in a magazine that could be seen by children and inappropriate because the model seemed "young and vulnerable and [the ad] could be seen to sexualise a child".
American Apparel said the ad was meant to depict the 23-year-old model in a relaxed "home" environment and that the hoodie shown was "soft to the touch" and could be worn directly against the skin. The company added that the ad focused on the hoodie and did not portray the model as "a sex object or in a negative or derogatory light".

Another one of those banned adverts which degraded and demeaned women. If you look closely at this offensive Bacardi advertising, you notice this broad in red tank-top is overly well endowed.
But that is what happens when men drink a glass too much of Bacardi. They starts to see things.
