Shock Horror. The “Full Frontal Posters Fury” is the title of the news on the cover of the Evening Mail tonight. Apparently, the newspaper was inundated with thousands of calls about the sexy billboard poster of a girl naked in a Santa show.
The Medusa club has been heavily criticized for its sexy poster and suggestions are being made that LAP dance bosses are now planning the ultimate outrage – a full frontal nude poster in their ad on the billboards around Birmingham. Thousands of families are offended if we are led to believe everything we read in the newspaper. Now it seems that the council has decided that enough is enough and they are taking action with a newly formed team of “smutbusters” to clean up the clubs.
A team of smutbusters?
Am I reading this right? How about the information from the general public about the number of council officials involved in this crack team smutbusters. Who is on the team and what costs are likely to be incurred on our behalf as the taxpayers. This is all due to speculation that the Medusa club wants to do a full-frontal nude ad. Has the Medusa Club actually become a full-frontal nude poster? Did they submit one to anyone for approval? Just where does this information come from?
I actually had to read this article through more than once in an attempt to make head or tail of it. A simple report you might think until the skeptical side of you digs a little deeper. The layout of the article seems strange. Even more bizarre when you question why the so-called offensive ‘rocket club’ poster is reprinted in clear print by the newspaper with clear details of their website and phone number. Could it be a paid ad? Could it be a reward for the club owner to agree with the Evening Mail that the Medusa ad was ‘over’ as mentioned by the Mail?
The Rocket Club does receive some negative reviews and is quoted by a board member as a rude ad containing a parrot and a joke containing the word ‘cockatoo’ but no mention of the reprinted large ad size poster as on page 2 of the Evening Mail.
In fact, most of us would never have heard of the Medusa Club or the Rocket Club. What better way to promote some local adult clubs. I bet the Medusa Club and Rocket Club grinds from ear to ear over the free publicity and advertising. It will definitely do them no harm.
It’s right to complain about offensive posters and obscene material, but we must be the ridiculous stock of Europe. By European standards it is soft. The Medusa poster barely revealed and she sported a small slip of thong on her persona, nothing would likely have been saying. The fact that you can see a whole naked bare skirt means scandal ?. Well, how edifying it is.
However, one should try to cater to all tastes and respect other views.
We live in a very multi-cultural city where some faiths are ever dissatisfied with our ‘floozie in the jacuzzi’ which is stone cold bare in the middle of a public square. Believe me, this is true. The council knows this is true. Many of us acknowledge this. For this reason, you can make a very good argument for being more conservative in Birmingham.
The final fantasy awaits me on page 93 of the Evening Mail where I can get the personalized services of a large variety of hot girls all wanting to provide relaxing massage and two girl special or phone numbers for the local swingers club. If I get bored, there are all the web addresses advertised along with a host of premium rate phone numbers. Wow, the Medusa Billboard has nothing to do with this – it’s a real feast. But hang on? What’s going on here? Dom my. This page is of course paid for.
