Cattrall Ad Pulled in New Zealand


A steamy car commercial starring Sex And The City actress Kim Cattrall has been pulled in New Zealand, after broadcasters received numerous complaints about its raunchy content. The 49-year-old, who played sex-obsessed Samantha Jones on the hit TV show, appears in the ad purring with excitement over the latest Nissan model. She tells a salesman, "Why didn't you tell me it was so big, I just wasn't prepared for it? The all-new Nissan Tiida makes you feel really, really, really good inside." After a test drive she says, "Ah! That was amazing. Absolutely fabulous! I mean the great body and the way you moved it." Despite being given the green light by New Zealand's Television Commercial Approvals Bureau, the Antipodean country's Advertising Standards Complaints Board has been inundated with negative feedback. Nissan has decided to remove its commercial from broadcast schedules to give the board time to reach a decision. A spokesperson says, "We made this decision in the interest of self-regulation and in response to public feedback."
