I’ve seen worse in some of the Go Daddy ads — but CBS isn’t taking a chances — banning a Super Bowl 50 ad from Scores Strip club — which was ready to pay a heavy penny.
The famous NYC strip club, Scores, was ready to throw down $5 million for a coveted 30 second spot to promote ScoresLive.com … which offers one-on-one online interaction with strippers.
If you think that sounds awesome … you’re not a CBS honcho. The network fired off a letter saying the Scores ad “didn’t meet the standards of the NFL.”
We got a copy of the NFL ad guidelines and along with firearms, contraceptives and gambling-related ads — companies featuring “nude or semi-nude performers” don’t make the cut.
The spot is totally PG, by strip joint standards, but CBS is playing it safe.
