Ten minutes ago I wrote a headline unimaginable to me even six months ago: Will American Conservatives Move To Take Away Women’s Right To Birth Control?

Now I read that this Lane Bryant Cacique commercial, featuring Ashley Graham, was rejected and amended several times for FOX and ABC for showing too much cleavage. It was bad enough writing that ‘vagina’ or even ‘down there’ met the censors hammer of the TV networks a few weeks ago, when Kotex introduced their new tampon. 

But now I read that this Cacique commercial is too risque? Lane Bryant wanted to air the commercial on ‘Dancing With the Stars and ‘American Idol.’

Lane Bryant Cacique Commercial Banned By FOX and ABC

Let me say that I’ve had a long relationship with both Cacique and Victoria’s Secret, and am not neutral on the subject of women’s lingerie, sexuality, body image or women’s rights. 

FOX News and ABC Banned Cacique Commercial for showing too much cleavageWatching this video and reading all the censorship arguments experienced by the Lane Bryant | Cacique marketing group is chilling, and absolutely discriminatory. Where are the Ralph Lauren photoshop activists on this Lane Bryant | Cacique commercial challenge?

This VS “The Nakeds” Commercial has no problem with censors and it’s much more ‘sultry’ than the Cacique commercial.

Google Images, FOXNews, ABC — The Guys in Power

I admit that I’m in total angst with my own  Google Images waterloo, with the entire Anne of Carversville website losing a moderate-search filter status because I posted the Louis Vuitton and LOVE magazine photos — straight out of Europe.

In my own situation, dealing with Google Images is the most Kafkaesque experience of my life. Everything is left up to the decisions of their SafeSearch group, and I have no idea what the standards are to get reinstated.
