Should outdoor advertising be G-rated?

I think what you are doing is great Wendy. We shouldn't be so willing to sit back and let our society become more and more sexualised without saying anything. I join with you in your effort.

OMG Wendy I agree with you 100%. As a mother of 5 children 4 of which are boys, I am astounded and disgusted with the way I'm having to try and avoid certain areas because of non G rated billboards. The mere fact that I'm assaulted by the views as a woman alone is offensive to my senses and I'm an adult. I'm only too aware of the fact that this is molding my innocent sons (who battle with everyday life as a male and developing young teens) it's a battle enough alone without the added offensive material we are being bombarded by in the streets. I am astonished like many others that in a society where we stand against the abuse of women that here it is blatently on the public streets in our faces - abuse of the female gender. Not only is it debasing it's setting up our young innocents to believe it's completely acceptable. REALLY do you want our young men to grow up and bash your daughters? Something to think about isn't it. These very men/women on the ASB who allow this material into our streets will be the very ones at the front line screaming in 5 to 15yrs (less in some cases) to lock up these very same men who by their own standards have done the very thing they have allowed. By all accounts it is the ASB who should be strung up, not just locked up. I've had enough of these so called double standards of people who think it's okay for these billboards but not okay to bash or rape their own daughters. If it's not okay for a male to dominate your daughter in one form or another it's certainly NOT OKAY for you to bring this abusive and offensive material into our streets to assault our young boys. GET IT OFF OUR STREETS.

OMG Graham Young

Have you noticed the continual numbers of new posters to this topic who have yet to contribute, on similar topics, elsewhere on OLO?

Is this a record of one-hit-wonders?
