Billboard Followup

Last week there were complaints lodged about the billboards on US 61 advertising a strip club in Memphis.  It was a trio of signs that said, "Got Beer?",  "Got Boobs?", "We've Got Both." 

It was reported that the most offensive sign, "Got Boobs", was to come down last Thursday.  It was still there last Friday.

Today as I drove by, the billboard had pictures of 2 baseballs covering up the word Boobs.

Now the way I read the trio of billboards they say, "Got Beer?", "Got Balls?" although it doesn't actually say balls, and "We've Got Both." I don't know who has more balls, the strip club, or the ad agency.

I just wanted to hear some opinions on whether this is actually any better.

I'm glad you asked, Citizen.

I think this type of toilet humor is a perfect example of our 'downward swirl' in a nation that prizes sex and money over everything else.

This should be the benchmark for ads: if a normal, congnizant child of 4-5 years of age can read or decipher an ad, then it should be clean.
