Paris Hilton has the Brazilian government up in arms.

A spokesperson for the country's Secretariat for Women's Affairs wants a beer commercial the heiress stars in off the air, according to the AP.

In the ad, Hilton, 29, poses in a short black dress and rubs a can of Devassa (which translates to "naughty") beer on herself while onlookers swoon through a window.

"It's an ad that devalues women – in particular, blond women," says the spokeswoman.

Eduardo Correia, a spokesperson for regulation company Conar, which has opened three investigations into the campaign, says the ad is particularly offensive because it doesn’t take place on a beach. (The country is known for its tiny bikinis.)

"The problem with the ad isn't a lack of clothing, but its sensual nature," Correia said. "A woman in a bikini on a beach isn't necessarily sensual; it depends on the context."

Wrote Hilton on Twitter Friday, "Are they serious? So ridiculous."

Hilton also wears lingerie and heels in an internet campaign for Devassa's "Bem Loura" — "very blonde" — beer.

The company that makes the brew, Grupo Schincariol, did not return calls for comment to the AP. Hilton was in the South American country last week for Carnival.
