LEWINSKY'S DRESS STAIN BECOMES TV SPOT

Detergent ad spoofs Clinton relationship

August 17, 1998
Web posted at: 4:01 p.m. EDT (1601 GMT) 

TEL AVIV, Israel (CNN) - As President Clinton comes clean in his
grand jury testimony about Monica Lewinsky, their relationship
is being lampooned in an Israeli television commercial - for
laundry detergent. 

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.
