Fans Not Fawning Over Kate Upton’s New Super Bowl Ad

If you thought Kate Upton would slowly fade from the spotlight after she appeared on the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, well, you were clearly wrong.

The 20-year-old (thankfully, we can now stop referring to her as a teenager, which always seemed kind of creepy) ended 2012 as one of Yahoo!’s most-searched people, thanks to multiple viral videos of the scantily clad blond bombshell. And now, less than a month into the new year, the world is abuzz yet again over Ms. Upton. This time it’s in response to a new Mercedes-Benz commercial set to air during the February 3 Super Bowl that “leaked” online.” But the buzz isn’t all good.

The premise sounds simple enough. The spot starts out with words "Kate Upton Washes the New Mercedes CLA in Slow Motion" displayed across the screen. But the apparent joke is that Upton doesn’t actually wash anything. The camera pans to the beauty blowing a few bubbles through the air while a gaggle of can’t-believe-their-eyes football players wash the car as she saunters around in short shorts and a super-low-cut, cleavage-baring tank top.
