German model, television host and actress,
Heidi Klum's suggestive holiday campaign for electronics brand
Sharper Image has been banned by officials in Las Vegas who say the risqué ads are 'too sexy' for public display. The adverts, which showcase some of the brand's most popular items, each feature a scantily-clad or nude image of Ms Klum, 41, alongside cheeky phrases such as
'What keeps Heidi Klum busy in the shower?' and
'What turns Heidi Klum on?'.
And while the campaign has proved a hit across major cities in New York and Los Angeles, a spokesperson for the
McCarren International Airport in Clark County, Las Vegas, where the ads have been banned, insisted that the provocative imagery violates a local regulations about imagery which features women's breasts.
But despite the outcry in Sin City, a spokesperson for Sharper Image insists that the company believes the images are 'tasteful' and 'beautiful' and should in no way be deemed 'inappropriate'.
'We are shocked that the Sharper Image ads featuring Heidi Klum have been banned in Las Vegas-- of all places. We believe the campaign is tasteful, beautiful and while sexy not inappropriate, in any way. The reaction to it has been fabulous to date and it is running in all forms of media without any issue.' Chief Marketing Officer, Dari Marder, said.
