Irony! Body Language Used In USA Nissan Car Commercial, But Banned 1980's

Last night I saw a Nissan car commercial I think for the Altima 2006 model, where they used ''Body Language''.

Now is this ironic or what? In the 1980's the video from that song was banned in the USA for being so risque, yet now they use the song in a yuppie car commercial.

By the way, I have owned 3 Nissan Sentras, which is the less luxury model of the Altima. I am currently on my 3rd which I love.

Does that kinda qualify as driving a Queen car? Cool!

Hey Arlene this probably sounds really random but are you related to anyone with the surname Tilson?

er...no WTF?

the song itself wasnt banned was it?

i thought it was just the video......

Er no lol, i just know some one with that maiden name from the states and was just wondering if they were related.

Hello sorry to be an annoying post but nissan doing that is a correct definition of irony!

If they were responsible for getting it banned and then used the video in their advert now that would be irony.

what they're doing is a coincidence!

I apologise once again for doing this post but I can't stand the incorrect use of words or terms!

Sorry

how could i want to break free have been banned if it appeared in a C2 commercial?

"how could i want to break free have been banned if it appeared in a C2 commercial?"

The decency laws in the U.S. are less stringent for soft drink commercials compared to other products.

Arlene is one of the people who forget's to think before posting.

WTF shouldn't they use the song? (that reached 11 in the charts btw). Due to a video wich is banned.

Gees your stupid.

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Geez, or gees as in Bee Gees?

The thread was meant as not serious irony, but funny irony so relax big fella!

... and I didn't sey Nissan had no right to use the song.

My point, was...how times and people's attitudes change. What ''shocked or appalled'' USA audiences 20 years ago, is now considered so wholesome they use it for a yuppie car commercial your mom or dad would drive (or me as I am 44, I drive a Nissan and I could be Your mom, young whippersnapper!)

Nowadays rapper 50 Cent is considered ''shocking''. Bet you a decade from now they'll use ''Candy Shop'' on some wholesome commercial. Just ironic how things change with perspective over time.

Arlene claims to be a journalist or reporter or something like that, and that she has done articles for music and movies or something, but yet she doesnt even know the definition of irony.

I want to break free wasnt banned here in the States, just the video. The same with Body Language, just the video wasnt shown after a few times, not the song itself.

You claim to read but...not so sure the jury is out on that. What I said was.

You all take this WAY too seriously too folks. As I said i thought it was irony, which it is, in an amusing way how times and peoples attitudes change over the years. How 20 some years ago, the video for that was considered so shocking, now the song behind it is considered so down home wholesome that they use it for a mom and pop yuppie car commercial.
