Britney Spears Curious Ad Restricted Britain

With so much artsy-fartsy quick cut, double-entendre imagery going on in the Britney Spears Curious commercial, it’s hard to imagine how anyone could see anything long enough to be concerned there might be some risque elements to the spot but the chaps over in Britain seems to have good eyes and have restricted the airing of the spot to after 7:30 PM when, presumably, untainted minds have gone to sleep.

The spot captures Britney in the throes of a fantasy with a guy in the next hotel room, complete with all the sexual imagery you’d expect; lips, fingers, blooming flowers, fingernails clawing skin, fingers against a rain soaked window, a pair of dolls kissing, clenched hands, bulls in a ring, crashing waves, writhing bodies and, finally, open mouth glee. It’s 30 second of visual orgasmic bliss. Hmm, perhaps that’s why it was restricted.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
