Sean P. Diddy Combs' ad for his new women's
cologne, "Unforgivable Woman," has been banned from American television
for being too racy. This was the commercial that Diddy
claimed would "revolutionize" the way the public sees fragrances. Um - I
just watched the video and I don't feel revolutionized at
all.
"Some people may be uncomfortable with the
sensuality and sexual content, but it is important for them to make that
decision personally," Diddy said. Yeah, like Kim Porter, the
mother of your son and new twin girls? Or the mother of your 15-month old in Atlanta? Then he says about the
type of women he had in mind when he chose the fragrance: "She's
strong, she's into fashion, a woman who's sensual and passionate, and a
quiet woman. A woman who picks the words she chooses carefully,
and when she speaks she says what she means." So you want a strong
fashionista who shuts up? A superficial sexpot? No,
really? That's not only not revolutionary, it's sort of
just a sexist's dream.
