Calvin Klein ad banned for showing nipple

A Calvin Klein perfume ad featuring actress Eva Mendes has been banned by U.S. networks for its racy content.

The ban "is not entirely a surprise for the U.S. market," Tom Murry, president and chief operating officer of Calvin Klein, Inc., said in a statement to the Daily News.

"We believe the commercial is exceptional and hits the mark for Secret Obsession. ... We are anticipating a very successful global launch."

The attention surrounding the ad "just reinforces our belief in the campaign, which has really struck a chord with consumers and in true Calvin Klein fashion, sparks controversy," said Catherine Walsh, vice president of American Fragrances, Coty Prestige, which produces the perfume.
