Chinese Presenter Draws Fire For Topless Ad

A popular Chinese TV presenter has issued a public apology after she was suspended for posing topless in advertisements for women's health.

Chen Dan, a presenter on 'Women's channel' in the southeastern province of Hunan, drew complaints around the country after her 'Clever Girls Love Themselves More' advertisement appeared at bus stops and billboards.

Chen finally issued an apology saying it was a 'public interest advertisement'. "My intentions were good. I hoped to draw people's attention to women's health, but because the format was inappropriate it caused a huge backlash. In future I will choose more suitable ways of publicizing women's health", she said.

"What a shame, breasts have become the leading actor", an official news agency said about the advertisement.
