"Take a look at this ad. Do you think it’s too steamy for a billboard?
Some people in the California town of Auburn think so. The billboard, promoting a tanning salon company, went up Tuesday. By Thursday, it was vandalized when someone covered it with a black tarp and spray painted the words “no porn in our town” on it:
“There is nothing pornographic about the image at all. It shows a beautiful tan on a confident women. It’s a very classy image,” Jeremy McCain, media director for California Sun, the company behind the advertisement, told the Sacramento Bee.

You can see much the same in lots of magazines and on the internet so this does seem rather antediluvian

My only complaint with the ad is that her boots make me think more of Texas than California. Seems misleading. ;-)
Magazines and Internet are, in theory, under parental control. A billboard is out there. But still, a bit silly
It's nothing that you would see at the beach.
No "porn", but vandalism, trespassing, and destruction of private property are apparently OK.
And anon 2:45, you are right, that is nothing that I've ever seen at the beach. ;)

I would like to see more billboards like that one, especially right outside my office building. Or inside my office building. Perhaps in the stairwells. The hallways would be a good place as well.
Anon 2:45, that's almost not true, because what you see at most beaches is often MUCH racier than what that billboard depicts.
Yeah - it's all in the eye of the beholder. Straight males might like it, as they might even like seeing porno-lesbians in action, but they find semi-naked males in a gay parade distasteful. But it's not all about hetero men and their lusts - it's a democracy - "Chacun à son goût, as they say in franglish!
