L I Last Updated: 8:36 AM, April 22, 2010 ABC is issuing a "fat"-wa against full-figured models, plus-size label Lane Bryant says. The Disney-owned network refused to air the brand's lingerie ad during its hit show "Dancing with the Stars," saying it bared too much cleavage, a Lane Bryant insider said. And Lane Bryant thinks the net's executives are a bunch of prejudiced boobs. "The cleavage of the plus-size models, they said, was excessive, and we don't think that's the case," said the source. "It certainly appears to be discrimination against full-sized women." Lane Bryant had been set to launch its campaign for Cacique, its new lingerie line, during "Dancing" this week. After the ad was pulled, the company posted the too-sexy-for-TV spot on its Web site yesterday. In it, a pleasantly plump model gracefully shows off her curves before the camera in a slew of sexy poses. "Mom always said beauty is skin deep," a voice-over says. "Somehow, I don't think this is what Mom had in mind." Lane Bryant said Fox, too, had originally balked at showing the ad on "American Idol." But a Lane Bryant insider noticed that a sexy Victoria's Secret lingerie spot starring a skinny model had been slotted for "Idol" Tuesday night and complained about a double standard. That caused Fox to change its tune, the source said. "They wouldn't run the ad, but have you seen the Victoria's Secret spots? If you saw the Victoria's Secret spot and our spot, you'd see nothing different," the source added. Fox bristled at the notion it gave Lane Bryant a hard time, saying it is set to air the ad during Wednesday's "American Idol." "We didn't treat them any differently than Victoria's Secret," a Fox spokesman said. A rep for ABC declined to comment. Fox had asked Lane Bryant to flash less flesh, the source said. But the label said no. Both networks had a first glimpse of the disputed ad last month from Lane Bryant execs. "They sent the storyboards in late March to Fox to approve. Fox rejected them, saying it was too racy, too risqué," the source said. "We said, 'Wait a minute. It's no more racy or risqué than the Victoria's Secret ads you're running!' They rejected them again, said, 'No, no, no, edit things out!' " If the label had heeded Fox's suggestions, the spot would have shown the model's face -- and virtually nothing else.

Naturally I don't think she needs to lose any weight at all to be hot, but my prejudices are well known. Edit:My 2000th post in praise of larger women, well odds were it would either be that or talking about Cougar football.
HOLY MOTHER OF THE COSMOS. Have I died and gone to beautiful fatty woman ?!?!?!?! PERFECT for me! <- loves a BMW Paging MoBalls... They show Victoria's Secret commercials...WTF, Focks and ABCrap?!?!?! Discrimination! Not all peeps like BONY-_ss women.
You know why they got all "edit this"? Those Fox execs got turned on by a chick with actual curves... made it more risque than those silly Vicky's secret ads Power to the curvy women!
That is a good looking woman. She could look even better if she lost some weight, but she is gorgeous the way she is. It is an awful lot of boobs, but no different then a Victoria Secret commercial really.
Can't believe she's considered fat. I'll bet she weighs less than the average American woman. We got a distorted view between our tastes and reality.
Of course, they were not showing a woman with stretch marks and belly flab folding down over in a flap of flesh. This 'large' woman had a completely flat stomach. So it's a bit much to accuse them of 'figure discrimination'. Put mo'nique in that same outfit, and then we'll talk about shielding our eyes. And it was in fact pretty racy, and while I am sure it was ok for Idol, DWTS is much more of a family-oriented show, and I can see how they might not want to run this ad OR a VS ad. As it is, I would rather cuddle up with a woman like the one in this ad rather than some bony toothpick with plastic boobage.
