Kate Upton got nothing but good press when she landed on the cover of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, but the 19-year-old model's latest project isn't getting the same reaction. It's not that she isn't sexy enough -- it's that she's a little bit too sexy. Well, that... and the cockroaches running their profane mandibles from a nearby dumpster.

The new commercial from Zoo York isn't as provocative as her Carls Jr. commercial, but there are two things that got it banned from MTV and Adult Swim, two relatively risque basic cable networks. First, her outfit doesn't do a superb job of hiding her "erect nipple" -- singular, their words. However, more prominent is the pair of cockroaches narrating the commercial with a series of profanity-laden skateboarding innuendos, including such subtle phrases as "backside," "grinding," and "f---ing c---sucker." Just to be safe, we'd rather link to the video (here) than post it below. Obviously, not safe for work. Do you think Kate Upton's recent ad is too racy?

The foul language wasn't necessary. The outfit is fine. I've seen less on people at Wal-Mart.

Racy would seem to suggest that she is showing to much. That is not the issue .. it is the language.

Hey! She is struttin what she's got. The language is a littl;e harsh but, don't like it, don't watch!!! Zoo York is always a little edgy and always profane. Avoid it it might offend you.

At 0.06 and 0.28 there appears to be a nipple but if it is actually a nipple it has very strange placement. I vote not a nipple.

I think it is funny, new yorker's are not know for their friendly personalities, and I never saw an erect nipple. As for the roaches, come on now, New York is crawling with roaches and rats.

I hate the Carl's Jr Ad and tho I haven't seen this one it sounds more disgusting than it for other reasons. What happened to America that we have to result to this degree of sexual stimulation to sell hamburgers or anything else.

It's not her ad. Does getting your picture taken on the cruise ship mean it's your ship?

Not racy at all to me. The fact that the cock roaches are cursing at the end can tell you that it may have not been intended for television, at least not in the United States, which I assume that's as far as this ad will make it. I looked up her Carl's Jr. commercial and I can totally see a husband and wife sitting on the couch, husband enjoying it while his wife is yelling obscenities at the television screen that the commercial is too racy. With that said, I can see more offense being taken to the Carl's Jr. commercial than this one. Even I felt a little dirty watching it, the girl is hot, what can I say?

It's not as racy as it is sort of gangy & therefore even more inappropriate. I don't if Ms. Upton had much to do with the commercial except being in it. She certainly didn't write ad copy & no one told her that cockroaches would be added saying things she had not agreed to.

the innuendos make sense if you understand skateboarding. it should have ended differently however.

Not nearly as racy as the Trojan condom/vibrator commercials and that one commercial with the girl in her underwear talking about how she likes sex but hates condoms except that one particular brand (forget what it even is) and then goes on to ask the viewer "you DO like sex?" or something like that. Ugh. The worse thing in this was just how repulsive roaches are. Bleh!

Nothing is too racy for TV in my opinion. If you don't like what you are seeing, change the channel, or turn it off. You America, are in control of what you see and don't see, do you see? Or are you trying to impose your values on everyone else? People get killed doing that ya know.

At least not for the channels it was banned from. It is nothing compared to the AXE body spray commercials I used to see on those channels.

It's not too racy (so long as it's censored), it's just a really really crappy ad. I suppose it will probably get more twelve year old kids to buy their crappy product. Big Deal.

I've seen much worse commercials than this (Carls Jr Kate Upton Commercial for one), and the entire premise of the double entendre in this commercial is just played out.
