    I used to stand at that light every morning on my way to work. That's a pretty steamy scene!

    I'm not in favor or kids seeing this - and would be embarrassed for people my grandma's age to see it as well. This, coming from the person who still turns down/talks over suggestive music when my dad is in the car.

    That looks like exactly the sort of hot, sweaty situation that makes removing tight jeans a nightmare.

    I don't understand the controversy. There have been many similar ads that have passed by with little to no controversy.

    Does anyone feel it's only "controversial" because it's a woman with a few guys rather than the other (more acceptable?) way around?

    @greengrey (raidersofthelostSTAR): No, I think that would be worse, especially around here.


    I just don't understand the need to put a giant image of people engaging in a four way or a gang bang or whatever this ends up being in a public place where little kids can see it. I'm not offended. I just don't get it. It's not like a lack of prevalence of porn in our culture makes it edgy or rebellious or anything.

    @lonewolfer: That was my immediate thought. She has a from-behind-doppelganger!


    And yes, I realize how dirty that sounds.

    After those NSFW butterflies, this seems only mildly provocative.

    Barring the fact that I don't love my kids seeing this, the fact that these supersized billboards are becoming ubiquitous is a big issue for residents of a community.


    First of all, these massive things block windows, and the fire department says that they are dangerous because they can block exits. Secondly, imagine waking up every morning to the sight of an ad. A very large, very inappropriate one. Ugh.

    @deeemer: I'm mainly not a fan of kids seeing it. Just more sexualizing the younguns as early as possible :-(
