Heidi Klum Naked: Supermodel's Revealing Sharper Image Ads Banned in Las Vegas [Watch]
Heidi Klum's provocative Sharper Image ads, promoting the company's popular items for its holiday "Gift Right" campaign, have been banned from being displayed at the McCarren International Airport in Clark County, Las Vegas, for being too sexy and exposing part of Klum's breasts, the Daily Mail reports.
The original Sharper Image photos feature Klum either nude or in minimal clothing next to the phrases "What keeps Heidi Klum busy in the shower?" and "What turns Heidi Klum on?"
Though Klum's nude Sharper Image photos cover up her intimate body parts, Clark County code states that the ads are still in violation of its rule that prohibits any public images that show "the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering or any portion thereof below the nipple."
Following the Sin City's ban on the ads, Sharper Image chief marketing officer, Dari Marder, expressed his disbelief and opposition toward Clark County's interdict.
"We are shocked that the Sharper Image ads featuring Heidi Klum have been banned in Las Vegas--of all places," Marder said. "We believe the campaign is tasteful, beautiful and while sexy not inappropriate, in any way. The reaction to it has been fabulous to date and it is running in all forms of media without any issue."
Despite his opposition on Clark County's ban, Marder and Sharper Image later chose to appease Clark County's regulation and display new ads of Klum covered up along with the caption "How does Heidi Klum tune out the noise?" TMZ reports.
Meanwhile, Klum's more risqué Sharper Image photos can still be seen running in New York City and Los Angeles' national newspapers, magazines and billboards, Extra reports.
Prior to the Clark County ban, Klum spoke with Us Weekly last month about her excitement over the Sharper Image "Gift Right" campaign and her preference to pose nude rather than with clothes on.
"[I feel sexiest] when I'm shooting, to be honest, the less I have on," Klum said. "Many people maybe are the opposite, like maybe they [prefer to be] more dressed. But the less clothes I have on, the easier it is for me to shoot, and the sexier I feel."
