Ooow, very good point Yabs!

Alright, let me modify my view - let's ban all billboards except for ones with 'hwaaaw' & 'whee wheoo' value!

It is about where to draw the line - and this one crosses it.

Old men twittering on about their blue rinse fantasies does not change the fact that this Ad is on public display.

Sheesh, there was silly old me, always thinking that naughty
bits were the line. I don't see anything in that ad, that
I don't see on tv every day.

So by my definition Pelican, I would have to place you in
the wowser category :)

Now kids can just turn on their radios and hear the ad for
lasting longer in bed, over and over again. But it seems
that passes the standards test.

Pelican,

As Yabby said, the line was drawn. MTR and her fuddy duddy blue rinse cohorts are trying to move the line.

There are no naughty bits, rude language etc only innuendo.

It is now not only enough not to show naughty things, but one must not inspire naughty thoughts.

Finally MTR and the blue rinse thought police might inspire the following Calvin Klein ad.

good chance that it is the porn industry is complaining. They don't like others showing the filth that they sell. It robs them of money. It seems their is a portion of depraved secularist who are not happy to keep their filth to themselves but want to shove it in the communities face at every bend.

Does the billboard portray a female fantasy.

Possibly, and possibly not. Who knows.

I don't like any billboards. They are visual pollution, and the excessive number of billboards and advertisement signs in Australian towns and cities have made them into some of the most un-picturesque (or boringly ugly) towns and cities in the world.
