CNN suspended political analyst Roland Martin on Wednesday for "offensive" tweets during the
Super Bowl that some critics said were anti-gay. Martin twitted about a commercial that showed
David Beckham in underwear: "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M
underwear ad, smack the ish out of him.

glimpsing their dad in his latest unclad ad campaign was: "'Oh my GOD Daddy - not again. They were
like: 'that's really good, but everyone's gonna see you in your pants." The underwear line goes on
sale in 1800 H&M stores around the world on February 2.
