Eva Mendes's nipple finds sanctuary online

A brief cameo by Eva Mendes's nipple may have put U.S. network censors off their lunch, but that nipple is now roaming free and unencumbered online, as the uncensored version of Calvin Klein’s “Secret Obsession” spot has hit YouTube. Humorously, the ad’s creative director, Fabien Baron, is blaming George W. Bush for the spot’s chilly reception at the networks. “You must be kidding me,” he tells Women’s Wear Daily. “This country really needs a new president—this country is so messed up. 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 [the ads] are not provocative. 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.”

It's so pathetic, you can see people lying dead next to the road on the news, the camera crews even zoom in, but you can't show a nipple? USA is backwards for a 1st world country.

They'll probably get better exposure this way. Naughty stuff you can only see online + people freaking out about it = awesome view totals!
