too HOT for the Kiwis....
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Japanese carmaker Nissan said Friday it has pulled a raunchy commercial starring "Sex and the City" actress Kim Cattrall from New Zealand television after complaints over its content.

Cattrall, who plays sex-obsessed, promiscuous Samantha Jones in the hugely successful U.S. series, appears in the ad purring with excitement about Nissan's new sedan.

"Why didn't you tell me it was so big, I just wasn't prepared for it?" she gushes. "The all-new Nissan Tiida makes you feel really, really, really good inside."

She tells a salesman: "Ah! That was amazing. Absolutely fabulous! I mean the great body and the way you moved it."

1. More like bad taste than too racy
Ugh. Maybe the Kiwis just have better taste than that.

2. Really poor taste.
I don't know if I object to the double-entendre more than the portrayal of women as sex-crazed, "I want it, the bigger the better" robots.

Objectionable at so many levels.
