The uncensored version of the video was removed from YouTube for violating the site’s terms of service regarding nudity; it was later reinstated.

The objectifying nature of the video’s opening scene, in which topless women parade around fully clothed men, generated controversy among feminists. After being featured in a number of popular news outlets, Victoria O’Dell, president of Toronto feminist organization Women in Media & Entertainment, started an online petition asking Martel to remove the video from YouTube.
