Aguilera's naughty nurse ad shelved
07/10/2004 - 19:21:10Pop rebel Christina Aguilera's naughty nurse advert for Skechers trainers has been shelved after complaints from America's nursing body.
The Dirrty singer dons a skimpy nurse's outfit and suspenders for the "Naughty and Nice" themed ad, in which she threatens to inject her injured doppelganger, who is suffering from a sore head and knee.
Sandy Summers, executive director of the Center For Nursing Advocacy, is delighted Skechers has withdrawn the ad after the group urged
members to sign a petition, which was sent to the footwear company.
Summers says: "This ad simultaneously exploits the 'naughty nurse' and the battleaxe/Nurse Ratched stereotypes, setting the nurse up both as an available sex object and a mock-malevolent authority figure, rather than a competent professional."
