Another Sexually Suggestive Billboard
Another billboard is gaining publicity for its sexually suggestive image. No, it's not Calvin Klein.
AKOO, Rapper T.I.'s clothing line, has put up a billboard in Newark, New Jersey. Hanging above a major intersection, the billboard shows a woman holding on to a man's unbuttoned jeans while the man's hand is placed against the back of the woman's head. The act (and the naughty stare of the woman) is suggesting that they are about to engage in oral sex.
"What's the message here? 'If I wear these clothes more women will want to have sex with me,'" says a Rutgers marketing professor.
"I'm so sick of people seeing Newark as a place where they can do whatever they want. They think they can put it in a black community and nobody is going to say or do anything," says City Council President Mildred Crump.
"So often when I am out in the community I see kids wearing their pants too low... I will work with my city council to see if we can address it so we don't see these types of advertisements displayed in our city in the near future," says New Jersey Mayor Corey Booker.
