Andrew Christian “Pool Party” Underwear Ad Deemed Too Gay-Sexy For YouTube

Is this sexy pool-party video too racy for YouTube?

Underwear designer Andrew Christian is peeved that the site removed his latest underwear ad, “Pink Paradise,” and, to add insult to injury, suspended his channel for two weeks because of it.

In an open letter to YouTube, Andrew Christian accuses the video giant of permitting “blatant female nudity and sexual scenarios with millions of views,” wondering, “are you being homophobic or is it something else?”

In any case, the video is hot hot hot and we’re glad the free-wheeling Vimeo is around to host it. And, to be fair to YouTube, we can see clear outlines of dick through those boys’ wet undies, especially when there are closeups of them getting out of the pool. Not that we mind!

If Andrew really wants to pull the homophobic card on YouTube, he might have to tone it down just a wee bit. Andrew claims this Playboy mansion pool-party video shows as much female skin, but there’s not wet T-shirt contest aspect to it, as there is here. But there are a bunch of poorly-shot wet t-shirt vids—maybe the HD realness of Andrew Christian’s (and the fact that exposed penis is far less charted territory than exposed boob) got YouTube’s goat?

Dear YouTube,

Your removal of our video “Pink Paradise” and two-week block of the Andrew Christian YouTube account has left us feeling unsettled.

There are thousands of videos that target the heterosexual audience currently on YouTube that show blatant female nudity and sexual scenarios with millions of views. (The video links below are examples of the double standard.)

Our video was meant to be a fun way to feature our new line of underwear. We’re disappointed and confused about its removal for inappropriate content when there are hundreds of thousands of videos featuring overtly sexual female imagery. We are a company that only produces menswear, and it feels unfair that our ads are held to different standards for featuring the male body.

There is no doubt in our mind that there would be no issue if the exact same video was posted with female models instead of male. Are you being homophobic or is it something else?

All we request is for our account to be unblocked, and the “Pink Paradise” video to be restored with its original view count so we may continue to regard YouTube as a fair and balanced outlet for reaching our audience.
