Elizabeth Hurley criticised for bikini wax ad

London: TV viewers have lashed out at Elizabeth Hurley for mocking environmental issues in a new commercial.

The glamorous British actress appears in a multi-million pound ad campaign for US discount firm Groupon, in which she compares the loss of rainforests to a cut-price Brazilian bikini wax, reports the Sun. In a tongue-in-cheek ad, which aired in the US during Sunday`s Super Bowl game, the ‘Austin Powers’ star called Brazil`s rainforest ‘one of nature``s most lush ecosystems’. She then added ‘not all deforestation is bad!’ and revealed she saved 50 percent on her Brazilian wax because of a group discount. Angry viewers claimed Hurley`s clip makes light of serious environmental matters. “I look forward to a Groupon campaign for roadside assistance using Egypt. That`d be droll! These ads are reprehensible,” said one TV critic said. Online viewers lashed out on Twitter. ANI
