Americans have known for years that Europeans can get away with a lot more on their television airwaves then we ever could here. Commercials in particular seem to contain a lot more sexual imagery, sexual innuendo ... and sometimes just straight up sex. If you don't believe us, check out this French commercial that is the second most popular spot on video ad site Firebrand and one of filthiest ads we've ever seen that wasn't advertising actual porn. You may be asking yourself, "What product could possibly require such a salacious come on in order to convince people to purchase it?" The answer: Fruit. Yes, fruit commercials in France are naughtier than anything you'll see on basic cable in the states. We can only imagine what their primetime line up is like.
