USA: Sean "Diddy" Combs' posts controversial commercial for his new women's perfume on his myspace page after it is banned from U.S. television
Sean "Diddy" Combs' has posted his controversial commercial for his new women's perfume on his myspace page after it was banned from U.S. television. The rap mogul denies the risqué commercial was a publicity stunt. Sean "Diddy" Combs' commercial for his new women's perfume "Unforgivable Woman" has been banned from U.S. television after being deemed too risqué and the rap mogul has taken to the internet in response. "The campaign and the video is definitely racy," said Combs. "It's definitely erotic and sensual but I don't think it should have been banned from TV. But that's why, we are blessed today with the internet and we can't be stopped so we released it on my myspace page." Ever since posting the commercial online, it has received a million hits, according to Combs. Combs denies that the commercial was a publicity stunt. "If I got naked then it would be a true publicity stunt. If I just let it all hang out and showed the world what I was working with, then you'd know it was a publicity stunt. But I kept my pants on so it's clearly not a publicity stunt." This is the second perfume that the rap mogul has released - in February 2006 he came out with a men's fragrance called "Unforgivable." Celebrity perfumes have become increasingly popular and are one of the fastest growing segments of the fragrance industry. There may be room for everyone but that hasn't squelched Combs' competitive spirit. "My fragrance is better than Sarah Jessica Parker's, or Jennifer's or Gwen Stefani's. I don't want them to be mad at me, it's just I wanted them to know that and if they disagree they could call me and we could talk about it. We could go on Fifth Avenue and have a fragrance off, like the Pepsi challenge." "Unforgivable Woman" is available in Department and Speciality stores in North America and the UK.
