A skincare company has seen its sales jump 500% after a 60 second television commercial aired in Britain showing both male and female full-frontal nudity. The owner, 38 year-old Janet Gardiner, appears completely nude in the "Nothing to Hide" campaign. Check the video out here.
(Note: this post had to be modified. Originally I used a link to this video on YouTube, and naturally they deleted it because it was "inappropriate". I applaud Elave for being brave enough to create such an ad, and obviously the British are a bit more accepting of human nudity than the Americans. While the ad is commercial in nature and uses only highly attractive models, it is a big step forward in normalizing the human body.)

Sounds like what people would do. Pulling it for being inappropriate. I think it's great, though! They should do ads like that here in the U.S. But the FCC . . .
It's been deleted already.
People should use other video sharing sites when nudity appears. I think metacafe has no problemas with nudity, even if they may classify it as "18+"

{sigh} The version at the above link is already "not available."
Here is a link to the advertiser's site where the full commercial is available to view.

Hmm, the owner appears completely nude, well... behind a table, a laptop and her hair hanging down that is.
She does not show more than when wearing a T-shirt.
But, I like the idea, although they try to add "nerve" to an ad using nakedness. They use it in a non-sexual context and therefore normalize nakedness; People does not neccesary have to have sex (or even flirt) just because they are naked.

They fact that they are doing it is just simply excellent.
