Keep It Clean
Posted by Matt Cipriano | 1 Comment
How is it that a billboard, set for Time Square, featuring the bottoms of six ordinary folks (well, okay, they are probably models, but still…) advertising for a new toilet seat/bidet hybrid can be banned, but there is no problem with a billboard right down the block of porn star Jenna Jamison advertising for Vivid Videos and her website?
The New York Post reports that Toto, the maker of Washlet, was all set to post a new billboard in Time Square until the Time Square Church started to sue them to keep the billboard down. The judge has ruled that for the time being the billboard will not go up while Judge Friedman looks to see if there is any legal precedent for keeping it from going up and asked that the church front a $90,000 bond, so that if the lawsuit is not found to be jut Tto wil be able to recoup on lost revenue as well as legal costs.
At least Judge Marcy Friedman seems to be pretty level headed in looking into this. Toto defends their ad campaign saying: “We introduced this kind of lighthearted campaign to really get people to stop and think amount about something they take for granted and they may not have thought about for sometime.”

As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.

We all have these parts. Who are these protestors? Do you think children have never seen an ass before? How about their own ass? I mean, unless you don’t have any mirrors in the house…and if so…well, crap, that solves it. No wonder people protesting against public displays of the human body never seem to be very attractive themselves. I’ve solved the mystery!
