Nissan pulls 'Sex & City' star's raunchy ad

Nissan has pulled a TV ad running in New Zealand starring Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall. That's because there were complaints it was way too raunchy.

In the ad, Cattrall purrs about Nissan's new sedan and the double-entendres flow. She goes beyond sex-obsessed Samantha from "Sex and the City," and says stuff like, "Why didn't you tell me it was so big? I just wasn't prepared for it."

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

New Zealand's Advertising Standards Complaints Board got complaints. Nissan took it off the air before the board could consider the objections. Article here.
