I have to ask.
Why do you think it is that American commercials are no where as racy as those seen in other countries? I find it funny, because America is supposedly the place where free speech and freedom of expression run rampant, and yet, so often, commercials are being pulled from the air and ads are being torn from the pages of magazines for their content. Why do you think that is?

We're a bunch of Puritans.
Honestly, it really depends on the context. There are plenty of "racy" ads in women's fashion mags, for example. Broadcast TV is notoriously timid (for good reason given the current climate of the FCC). But there does seem to be a cultural aspect, perhaps linked to America's relative religiosity.
