Brazil bans Paris Hilton
When I heard about this ad being banned, I thought to myself, "Ok, cool! Another controversial ad to watch and learn from." Imagine my disappointment when I realised it was only banned because of Paris Hilton. Apparently, Brazil has strict rules about not objectifying women in beer commercials. And in this commercial, Hilton really does just have to grace and poise of an inanimate object. "It's an ad that devalues women—in particular, blonde women," regulators said of the Paris ad. Personally, thanks to Miss Hilton, I'd say the only thing devalued here is the beer.
