What has the Israeli government's underwear in a knot? Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, who is too steamy for prime time in fashion brand Hoodies latest TV commercial.
The commercial debuted last Sunday, featuring the blonde beauty and a Muppet creature cavorting in bed. The puppet wonders how anything could be better than this, at which point Bar Refaeli mutates into three identical hotties. This group takes provocative photo booth pictures, gets wet in a hot tub and plays strip poker.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote (link below) that an "Governmental council The Second Authority for Television and Radio reviewed the 54-second spot and concluded it has 'too many sexual insinuations,' banning it from airing before 10 p.m."
What schmucks.
If you're curious about Bar Refaeli's lover, and if you are what's wrong with you, then here's the skinny on our plush play toy.
"The character of Red Orbach emerged locally from an all-puppet classic rock group called Red Band and his stereotypical persona is that of an aging 1960s American rocker," writes the Hollywood Reporter.
All we can say is that now Israelis have a reason to stay up late.
