Its not exactly a new or drastic step to bar the showing on nipples on broadcast TV. Not that I agree with that however.

This is bullshit. The guy is cuddling up with a white woman and a black woman. This commercial is a model for racial equality, and it should be aired as often as possible.

WTF! A (black) woman shows her nipple briefly, and people complain!

*draws a deep breath* (cover your ears, people)

To the Moral Busybodies who complained: SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU RACIST SEXUALLY-REPRESSED POLITICALLY-CORRECT SOCCER-MOMIFIED RETARDED CUNT-QUIEFS!!!

My apologies for my overreaction, I'm having some RL trouble, and I'm letting off steam. See HoS for details...

My thoughts exactly. I cerainly can see that as being an issue in parts of the US, but Russia?
...which doesn't make the whole thing any less stupid. If this is an issue they better pray their people never see our shower gel or skin care products ads...
