The Lever Israel company uses Lewinsky's stained dress - which has been examined to determine if the stain contains genetic material - to suggest that its Biomat detergent can deal with even the most stubborn stains. A mock FBI agent recommends Biomat laundry detergent to clean a dress owned by someone named "Monika Lavinsky" The 30-second spot shows two actors playing FBI agents breaking into the "home" of Monica Lewinsky at night. Their mission is to remove, wash and return the dress at the center of an investigation into whether Clinton had a sexual relationship with the former White House intern, lied about it and urged others to lie about it. For what the company called legal reasons, the spelling of Lewinsky's name on a mailbox outside the house was "Monika Lavinsky." But the two agents slip up in their apparent mission to protect the president. On leaving the house, they report by wrist radio that their mission is done. The newly laundered dress is now "whiter than white," one agent says. "White? But it's a blue dress," says a voice in their earpieces. The commercial premiered on Monday on Israeli news programs to coincide with Clinton's closed-circuit television testimony to a federal grand jury. ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to loonies-unsubscribe@listbot.com Start Your Own FREE Email List at http://www.listbot.com/
