Bum billboard banned by brutal bible bashers

You just can’t make this stuff up…
On Monday – we noticed a couple of American blogs hosting a rather strange advertising banner campaign, featuring over-the-top posterior imagery that was not for American Apparel.
Turns out the campaign translated into a billboard execution too – which was erected in Times Square NYC…pictured here.
The Toto Washlet Company [we didn't make that up - that apparently their real name] has unveiled a giant two-story billboard
wrapped around three sides of a Times Square building. The huge
advertisement features naked buttocks with smiley faces on them. The
billboard has covered two sides of the Broadway building that houses
Rhodes’ church, its Bible school and day-care center.
Now Pastor Neil Rhodes of the Times Square Church has asked a judge
to ban the advertisement saying that the
advertisement ‘would interfere with the church’s religious mission.’
Then again – don’t we arrive on this earth struggling, screaming and naked?
The court will make its ruling on Monday.
