Although the Ashley Madison Super Bowl commercial isn't as racy or inappropriate as some campaigns seen over the years, I completely understand why [Fox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubi-1) rejected it. By combining edgy elements with a rather immoral message, this is one commercial that probably shouldn't have been made in the first place.

The Ashley Madison Super Bowl commercial essentially advertises its dating services for those looking to enter an affair. With bestiality references and [adult film star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated) Savanna Samson as the face of the campaign, this ad campaign is definitely one that would cause plenty of buzz.
