http://www.kvoa.com/global/story.asp?s=9541558 Here we go again, with another group of people being offended by an inanimate object. A billboard. If it does not apply to you, what do you care??? What is next, Nutri System billboards being removed because they are offensive to overweight folks?
I understand where you are coming from: A bright pink billboard advertising the Hustler Club and featuring a scantily clad woman that was posted on Frontage Road north of Hamel, and adjacent to Interstate 55, has been removed, according to the farmer on whose property it was placed. “I didn’t want no part of it,” the farmer, who did not want to be named, said. “Especially when it was a quarter mile from a school and a church.” He said the billboard went up on Friday afternoon, Aug. 22, and on Monday morning, he called CBS the parent company of Viacom, owner of the billboard, to ask that it be removed. He said the principal and the pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran School and Church also called and asked for it to be removed. “A bunch of us called,” he said. The billboard is located in a strategic spot along old Route 66, renamed Frontage Road after I-55 replaced it, and just a few miles north of Exit 6 off Interstate 64 the exit noted on the billboard. “They were very apologetic and said it would not happen again,” the farmer who leases the space to Viacom said Friday afternoon. “It was taken down before 10:15 this morning.” http://www.theintelligencer.com/articles/2008/08/31/local_news/doc48bb0e4271a83464430189.txt
People with too much time on their hands who like to find any and everything to complain about....... LIVE ON PEOPLE LIVE ON!!!! in other words MOVE ON
I disagree if he leased the land and the Billboard did not violate the contract. As far as I am concerned he/they are just as bad as the folks in Cleo's example.
