"Raunchy" Cartoon Pulled... · 24 May 2007
SPANISH airline Iberia has pulled a cartoon video ad that depicts a baby boy frolicking on a beach with big-breasted black Cuban women after complaints it insulted women and encouraged sexual tourism.
The two women, with huge lips and tiny, tight shorts on broad hips – massage and pamper the white Spanish infant after he arrives in Havana on a free trip from Iberia.
At one point, lounging at a seaside bar, he sings “Come on honey, take me to the crib”, the Associated Press reported.
Iberia’s website ran the video as part of a contest offering free trips to celebrate the site’s 10th anniversary.
The clip was taken down last week after less than 10 days on the page, following a complaint by the Federation of Consumers in Action, although it has resurfaced on YouTube.
