CNN is running a new series of humorous ads, one of which features medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta unintentionally distracting a female viewer.

In light of the recent brouhaha surrounding Terrell Owens’ skit on ABC’s "Monday Night Football," this inter-racial coupling is sure to ruffle some feathers. The sexually-charged tone of the ad alone should raise the ire of FCC dick-tator Michael Powell. Fallout will soon commence.

Is this my lame attempt at creating controversy where none exists? Is the title of this post outrageously misleading? The answer to both questions: yes (head pointed downward in dirty, dirty shame).

One thing’s for sure — the pro-Sanjays lobby over at Mahoot will be quite pleased.

The page that hosts the ad uses one of those unfriendly Flash interfaces, so there isn’t a direct link to the video. You’ll have to skip past the intro, and then possibly click around a bit. Also, Anderson Cooper’s ad includes a brief mention of India.
