Beyonce is Obscene... Strippers Are Fine

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:17:55 GMT

Residents of Las Vegas are complaining that a billboard featuring Beyonce is obscene. Apparently the billboard, put up by a Vegas radio station, features the singer in a bikini. Also, just going out on a limb here, but I'm betting it shows Beyonce's armpits as well.

According to NME, one Vegas resident had this to say:

It's obscene. I have my two little grandkids coming over here, and they don't need to be seeing that. You can change the channel on the TV but you can't change that.

She then continued, "back when I was growing up, President Fillmore never would have allowed this!" Seriously lady, move. You live in Las Vegas. Your city actively encourages adultery in its official tourism ads. There are showgirls walking down the street. The cabs have posters of strip clubs on top of them. You go to the supermarkets there and you get a lap dance from a she-male named Trixie. Wait, does that not normally happen? Dammit, I swear I'm going to write a letter to that Stop 'N Shop. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, this is Las Vegas. Beyonce's wearing a bikini. Deal with it.

Protesters have acquired 100 signatures on a petition against the billboard. Unfortunately for them, Las Vegas' other 1,799,900 residents have signed a "Shut The Hell Up Petition," so it doesn't look like that billboard is going anywhere.

A city official has stated that the picture of Beyonce complies with Vegas' billboard code. In other words, it doesn't show penetration.
