Update: Once Again, Texas DOESN'T Lead the Way

Where's the ad? Houston may have a beef with Silverstone spot - Los Angeles Times: " The 30-year-old actress set off a firestorm of interest -- and, apparently, controversy -- by posing nude in a television commercial on behalf of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Silverstone, a well-known animal rights activists and environmentalist, is shown swimming in a pool naked and talking about the beauty of a vegetarian lifestyle. As she emerges from the pool, her carefully placed limbs and some fancy camera work leave it all to the imagination.

But it may be too much for Texas.

The 30-second spot was to debut in Texas on Wednesday but was reportedly banned in that bastion of beef by Comcast Cable. (You may recall that the Lone Star State's beef barons took Oprah Winfrey to task for allegedly backhanding their industry. The O prevailed.)"

You can see the ad here if you're curious.

Not anymore.

Too bad. I guess PETA or someone else didn't want it seen.

I just watched the ad, which is still available. It is, to quote Alicia Silverstone's own words in the ad, "so amazing."
