BRASIL: Bye, Bye Bundchen? Model's New Lingerie Ad May Be Banned From TV.

                                         TELEGRAPH...with :38 Bundchen ad

      The state's ministry for women wants a TV ad with famous Brasilera supermodel Gisele Bundchen dressed only in underwear...to be taken off the airwaves...because it "reinforces the erroneous stereotyping of women as sex objects".
      In the ad, a scantily dressed Bundchen practices distracting her off-screen husband while telling him bad news.
     The lingerie company Hope defends the ad's humor and claims the "natural sensuality of Brasilian women...can be an effective weapon when giving bad news."
