More Info at:

We are objecting to the recent barage of billboards advertising "UPMARKET LAP-DANCE EXPERIENCES". Many of which contain sexually suggestive phrases such as Come... Treat your Lolli, which perverts minds, particularly those of our CHILDREN.

Because of the luring and lustful nature of the images on these billboards, it is putting images and thoughts into peoples minds that are unnecessary and harmful to men and also to the minds of our children.

It is a known fact that men and boys think visually and are sexually aroused by such images. Whilst people are traveling to and from work, some are facing unnecessary and unsolicited temptation. A large percentage of woman and children are being offended by the sexual suggestive contents of these billboards.

There are examples of negative reactions that has been experienced by young children when exposed to the billboard in question. We URGENTLY request that you assist with the necessary action in order to ensure that these billboard advertisements are removed as soon as possible.
