Lane Bryant — which caters to the pleasantly-plum bodies of the world — was set to launch its campaign for Cacique, a new line of intimates, during this week’s Dancing With The Stars<\/em>, but controversy erupted after ABC abruptly yanked the ad spot, insisting the models in the ad bared too much cleavage for the commercial to be aired in primetime.<\/p>\n

Lane Bryant thinks the Disney-owned network is “prejudiced against boobs” and has rallied cries of discrimination against the full-figured, an insider told The New York Post<\/em> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The cleavage of the plus-size models, they said, was excessive, and we don’t think that’s the case. It certainly appears to be discrimination against full-sized women.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The brand also complains that FOX initially resisted the idea airing the ad during Wednesday’s episode American Idol<\/em>. That network only relented after it was pointed out to executives that a commercial featuring the petite bodies of Victoria’s Secret models frequently airs between Idol<\/em> segments.<\/p>\n

Thoughts on this? Is the new Lane Bryant commercial too hot for TV?<\/p>\n
