"The 30-second spot opens with a tortured-looking teenage boy telling his dad that he got his first period. It then cuts to a man rolling over in bed to reveal a blood stain on his sheets. Moments later, another man walks through a locker room with a tampon string dangling out from his underwear.

Thinx was forced to cut the blood-stain scene outright so the ad could run on national TV, according to a source. But CBS still rejected the spot because of its depiction of the tampon string, the source said, noting that squeamish executives found it too “graphic.”
"

Notice no one is objecting because of the absurdity of the ad...only about the "too graphic" aspects of it.

We've now reached unheard of levels of absurdity.
