Can't watch video at work, but honestly, She's got ass. It's always there. It's always noticeable. At some point people are going to have to accept her ass the same way everyone excepted Dolly Parton's jumblies back in the 80's when she was relevant.

Probably for the best. I suspect there would be some kind of gamer outrage if in fact you can not play the female characters wearing those outfits, and if there are no gratuitous butt and boob close ups in gameplay.
It's misleading...

this seems lke one of those deals where they make an outrageous ad that would cause up a stir, never air it and make a big deal about it online. that way everyone sees it but they dont have to buy ad space.
that being said, i love it.

She's got everything and it's a shame she's injured because she's 80% of the reason I watch women's tennis.

Also, "unauthorized distribution" my (and her) ass.
That's an intentional leak if I've EVER seen one.

Dolly Parton is a little old to be playing tennis.

I think we're calling them "whisper campaigns" these days.

I've watched this ad probably more times than is socially acceptable.

If Jason California was an ad agency, that's what he would create. Daily.

Surprising that this "unauthorized" video that was never part of their grand marketing plan still has the ESRB card on the front end.
I really despise this movement which is forcing Serena to not be sexy...

On the day the WTA announced its new "strong is beautiful" campaign, Serena Williams is under unnecessary fire for putting up, and quickly removing, a sexy Twitter avatar.
Williams put up the picture of herself standing in high heels and wearing nothing more than matching undergarments on Thursday afternoon. She took it down hours later, but not before the criticism began.
"Someone must have gotten to her and suggested something about common sense and hypocrisy," wrote Greg Couch of The Sporting News.
He's referring to the recent arrest of a Florida man accused of stalking the tennis star. The 40-year-old man was arrested last week on the grounds of Williams' Palm Beach estate. One month earlier, Williams took out an injunction against the man, who used her Twitter updates to stalk her in various locations, including in the dressing room of a television studio. Couch doesn't say so directly, but he's basically suggesting that Serena putting up a voyeuristic photo of herself in a bra and panties emboldens stalkers.
Couch isn't the only one who was skittish about the picture or instantly thought of the recent arrest.
I see it differently. I think the picture is strong and beautiful, just like those new commercials say. What's Serena supposed to do, let the creepy guys win? Dress like Mary Todd Lincoln for the rest of her life? She can't put on a sexy outfit anymore because of one crazed man? If that's going to be the case, she might as well stop tweeting since her accused stalker used that as a tool in his illegal activities. No more revealing outfits; think of how some people might respond! Hell, she might as well stop playing tennis because that's how the stalker found her in the first place.

Somebody once said, "Don't let the terrorist win".

Yeah, it's totally her fault that crazy people exist and one of them stalked her.
Douche.

It is the new coagulating edge technique.

I can't believe he is playing the "she was asking for it" card, douche indeed.
