Naked woman deemed inappropriate for kids

dailyheights

From the New York Post: "Brooklyn parents, who were hot and bothered by a billboard featuring a naked blonde across the street from an elementary school, have won their fight to have the sign taken down. A spokesman for FlashDancers, a Manhattan 'gentlemen's club,' said the billboard across from PS 133 in Park Slope would be removed..."

"He blamed society for a double-standard on adult material: 'That sign is less risqué than the ads on city busses.'"

"... the stiletto-wearing woman ... offers a come-hither look as she stares down at kids in the school playground."

Councilman David Yassky ... called it 'totally inappropriate' ..."

"'Wow, look at the hot lady,' said one 9-year-old boy..."

What would they say if/when an American Apparel--and the oversized ads of cute hipsters in skivvies--opens in the neighborhood?

More like "Naked Porn Woman Deemed Inappropriate for Kids."

I mean, there's naked and there's naked. This is clearly an ad for a strip place -- the woman's expression and her lucite stilettos might be part of the problem, not just her nudity.

Right after being gobsmacked by that monster lady, I saw the billboard for me. If you look to the left as you get off the Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn side, there's a guy eating a sandwich and the ad is for VEGANS. Appealing guy, nice background color - no eye assault.

And you're right, the problem isn't nakedity - it's creepy soul-killing content.

(I know you didn't say nakedity. I did. I know it's silly.)
