The commerical for CrazyDomains.co.uk features Anderson and an assistant revealing their clevage during a boardroom meeting, after which a man daydreams of them dancing in their underwear.

The advert has now been banned in the UK after it was decided that it could offend viewers who would see it as sexist.

Four complaints were received by the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) about the advertisement, which was already cleared for broadcast after 9PM by a separate watchdog.

The ASA have banned the advert as they consider it "sexist and degrading to women", as both Pamela Anderson and her assistant are portrayed in a sexual manner throughout the ad.

They say it suggests the women are simply "sexual objects."

The parent company for CrazyDomains does not agree with ASA’s findings, and says the daydream scene was "exaggerated fantasy" which most viewers would find amusing.
