Tasteful nudity of the day

So here's the pitch from Internet fashion discounter Bluefly's PR agency: 

Dinner_party_screen Bluefly is launching a provocative ad campaign entitled "We're Gonna Be Late" following their controversial Spring ads, which also featured tasteful nudity.

Based on network responses, they cut most of the provocative scenes for television, even though the content on their programming is just as sexy, if not more so. Broadcast TV seems to apply a very different set of standards when they look at advertising. The Company was also compelled to edit an Internet-only version to circulate the ad virally so that more people can see it as they intended it—in its full, uncut, and most-truthful version.

Is the naked ad truthier than a more edited one? Judge for yourself.
