There's nothing like a good bum story to make the Internet explode and here's one that just keeps rearing (thanks, we're here all week) its head. While some news stories last less than 24 hours, some - even a year on - just keep on giving.

The Rear View Girls video went viral with over 8 million hits last year and shows New Zealand models Reanin Johannink and Jessie Gurunathan as they take to the streets of LA with an "ass cam" fitted to the back of their jeans.

Their quest? To catch people admiring their behinds.

"Hey guys, have you ever wondered what happens behind your back? Well, we’ve figured out a way to bust people…so check out the ‘ass cam’," Johannink says to the camera - which is fitted in the bottom of her co-star's jeans.

At first the video appeared to be making a stand for women's rights to walk down the street without past un-oogled at by men (and women) - and for this we applauded, foolishly.

In fact the thought-provoking, innovative video turned out to be nothing more than an advert for Levi.

So the stand against sexism goes out the window, and is replaced by the marketing of a product (their Curve jeans if you're wondering) that are designed to make people check out the wearer's bottom.

And instead of finding the clips of people shamelessly checking out bottoms uncomfortable, we are to applaud them as they testify to the effectiveness of aforementioned jeans.

It's not the only controversial advert to get controversy and it certainly won't be the last. But we still can't help but feel slightly disappointed.
