Sexy Milano's Banned Commercial

How many condoms should one man have?

No, it's not the 69th verse of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In the Wind;" but it appears to be the issue that has led certain TV stations to ban the sexy new Candie's ad featuring "Charmed" star Alyssa Milano.

The naughty commercial, which The WB and two New York area television stations decided was too racy to run, shows Milano on a bed in black bra and panties restlessly awaiting her lover who is in the bathroom prepping for a night of sensual fun.

Although Milano's sultry attire does make a little steam rise off the boob tube, the scenes of her boy in the bathroom are the ones that stations have found objectionable. The young man, also in his underwear, anxiously rummages through cabinets and drawers shoveling though mountains of condoms until he finds his Candie's for Men, which he then squirts on his privates before joining Milano.

The large amount of condoms and the overt sexual innuendo in the spot have been sited as the elements that make this commercial too sexy for TV. However, basic cable nets Comedy Central, E! and BET are still running the ad.

Is the ad too sexy for TV?

Alyssa Milano currently stars on "Charmed," which airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on The WB.


Too racy for New York? I wonder if it will play in Peoria.
