"Fake excitement while lying down, without smiling"

I'm no lawyer, but I don't really see how this lawsuit has any merit. Once you see the clip, I think you'll agree.
A model who says she has worked hard to maintain a wholesome image has filed a $5 million lawsuit complaining that a jewelry company's video advertisement in which she writhes and moans looks pornographic.

The commercial, seen on the Internet in a clip entitled "Rock Her World," shows a woman wearing blue lacy lingerie and a diamond necklace while moaning and stroking her face and neck. It ends with the Web address for the jewelry company, Szul.com.

The 37-year-old woman claims in her lawsuit that she did not "consent to or authorize the use of her likeness, picture, image or name to simulate a female having an orgasm or otherwise experiencing sexual pleasure."

[...]

The plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe, says in court papers she won the role in the commercial for Szul Jewelry Inc. in November. She says the idea was that an average guy would get a woman excited by putting a necklace on her.

Three-fourths of the filming of the commercial, shot Nov. 9 by Q2 Entertainment in a studio in Queens, involved a comedic story line, but the woman later was told to sit and feign excitement for a few seconds while the young man put the necklace on her, the lawsuit says.

After that scene, the court papers say, the director told her to fake excitement while lying down, without smiling.

"He asked her to keep repeating the action until he thought he got the most authentic looking film piece," they say.
Now, maybe she thought the commercial was going to feature more of the "comedic storyline" than it does, but what did she think they meant by the last part? I think she knew pretty well. Know why?

MATURE CONTENT WARNING! FOR REALS!



Oh, yeah, she knew damn well what that director was asking her to act out. And she did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself.

Update: Great minds Morons think alike.
