    It's been made to look like someone vandalized it by cracking holes where the nipples go

    It's a British bus shelter! I would have assumed vandalism before all else.

    Was there a set of headlights with #7?

    While probably too risque for some people in the US, these ads are, for the most part, pretty clever.

    It's posts like these that really make me shake my head in amazement. Ads like these are commonplace.

    Virtually every bus stop in Vancouver or Edmonton seems to have an ad for La Senza or la Vie en Rose featuring a girl in next-to-no clothes. Are you saying they're NOT common in the 'States? But that's one of the few simple joys in life! ICBC always has graphic injury billboards encouraging us to drive carefully. And they distract drivers so much I think they run the risk of making us drive worse.

    Are Americans really so uptight that they'd be offended by a bit of boob 'n' bum??

    @skaycog - Game On!: Any regular reader of this site is not likely to be offended by what appears on its proverbial pages. The classy argument is viable just for the sake of having SOME semblence of propriety. Everyone knows where to find the sleaze if they desire. Some of it just doesn't have a place on billboards. There are signs outside of town that scream Topless! Topless! Topless! We all get the picture, the kids included. That part of it is inappropriate. We may be stuffy Americans at times, but I wouldn't like to see a giant ass dumping sewage on my local signage.

    It's about treating the naked body with admiration and respect, not like it's a carnival sideshow.

    @John Krewson: No shit! Going to the UK on biz trip definitely widened my horizons a bit. The girl sitting next to me at work was having some food and reading some newspaper at lunch openly which had a full blown top less girl. And no one around seemed to blink.

    My jaw on the other hand was on the floor. She even turned over to me and asked if something was wrong? Never saw so much nudity in regular newspapers before. Same story everyday on the tube too everyday on my week long stay there.
