| *** and City's Sarah Parker Forced to Cover Up
It seems as it some Israelis are finding Sarah Jessica Parker too ***y.
A poster and billboard campaign showing the "*** and the City" actress in a skimpy, sequined dress was replaced with new ads of her in a dress that covered her arms, back and thigh, reportedly after ultra-Orthodox consumers objected to her outfit.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who require women to dress modestly, account for roughly 10 percent of the Israeli population, making them a sizable market for local Unilever products.
According to Unilever Israel's spokesman, the wardrobe was altered ? just days after the posters first appeared ? to be more suitable for the arrival of winter in Israel.
"The winter came suddenly. Last week it was summer. Now it's rainy and cold. Everyone has the flu," said the spokesman, who declined to give his name. |
