An advertising starring Sex and the City actress Kim Cattrall becoming aroused by a new Nissan sedan has been banned in New Zealand.
Cattrall, who plays sex-obsessed, promiscuous Samantha Jones in the hugely successful U.S. series, appears in the ad purring with excitement about Nissan's new sedan.
"Why didn't you tell me it was so big, I just wasn't prepared for it?" she gushes. "The all-new Nissan Tiida makes you feel really, really, really good inside."
She tells a salesman: "Ah! That was amazing. Absolutely fabulous! I mean the great body and the way you moved it."
The double entendre-laced ad was approved by New Zealand's Television Commercial Approvals Bureau before broadcast. Nevertheless, it sparked a number of complaints to the Advertising Standards Complaints Board.
Nissan said it was taking the commercial off the air before the board could consider the objections.
The National Ledger reports that videos of the banned ad can be found here and here. You can also read more about three different Australian versions of the Cattrall-Nissan ads here (via Autoblog).
