Whitney Thompason's ad for her plus-size dating website has been REJECTED by NBC!!
Here is the official release from TheBigandTheBeautiful.com: "I wanted to pass along an ad that has been rejected by NBC. The ad stars America's Next Top Model winner and plus-sized model Whitney Thompson. She believes they rejected the commercial because it features bigger women and not the skinnier accepted norm.
The ad is for TheBigAndTheBeautiful.com -- a dating site for plus-sized men and women that was founded by Thompson. NBC Universal's rejection email said: "Unfortunately it needs to be completely reworked for our air. S&P [Standards and Practices] wouldn't approve it."
Listen up, marketers. These will be the only words I'm devoting to the tired practice of trying to drum up media coverage by claiming a network banned your ad from the Super Bowl when the truth is it never had a shot (and shame on any media outlet that picks this up as a legit story).
