Brazil's Secretariat for
Women’s Affairs claims the ad devalues women - in particularly blonds
according to a report from the Associated Press. Regulations in Brazil
are clear - beer commercials cannot treat a woman as an overtly sensual
object - not even if the woman in question is Paris Hilton.
Loosely translated, Devassa means wild, wanton, and wicked and Bem
Loira means truly blond. The wicked, truly blond brew is made by Grupo
Schincario which hasn't returned calls from the media. The two blonds,
beer and gal, are also featured in an Internet campaign where Hilton
wears lingerie and high heels.
