Is being round a problem? This is the debate that ignites them United States ever since TMZ revealed that ABC and NBC (two television networks) have refused to air a commercial.
The ad in question promotes Lane Bryant's plus size clothing line and is intended to support self-acceptance and build confidence.

The video shows Denise Bidot, Tara Lynn, Georgia Pratt, Precious Lee and Ashley Graham, famous
for the Pirelli calendar and for having walked for H&M.

The commercial is in black and white and shows young women in lingerie. Each of them announces what they love most about their body.

'This body is made to be strong, powerful and sexy"declares Ashley Graham when" another young woman, intent on breastfeeding, proudly announces "this body is made to love'.
It all ends with an iconic phrase or "this body is made to start a revolution".

It is not clear the reason for the great rejection, ABC and NBC have repeatedly aired models in underwear and generous portions of skin so the alleged nudity should not be a problem for them.
It may be that the two channels feared an apology for being overweight or, more simply, they did not want to risk losing audience.
