From the New York Post: “Brooklyn parents, who were hot and bothered by a billboard featuring a naked blonde across the street from an elementary school, have won their fight to have the sign taken down.

“He blamed society for a double-standard on adult material: ‘That sign is less risqué than the ads on city busses.'”

Councilman David Yassky … called it ‘totally inappropriate’ …”
“‘Wow, look at the hot lady,’ said one 9-year-old boy…”
