New York Strip Clubs: Sexually suggestive jeans billboard in Newark sends wrong message
… What does it say, that it’s all right for oral sex in public?” said Brian Woods, a Newark resident. “That’s not the message we want to send to our young people.”
Woods, like many people walking downtown, thought the ad should come down.
Some others thought it isn’t that bad, that it’s no different than what you see in New York. Besides, sex sells, right? That didn’t wash with Yolanda Anderson and Robert Burton of Newark. They were waiting for the bus at the corner of Washington and University avenues when I brought the billboard to their attention. “Her head shouldn’t be there,” Anderson said. “C’mon, this is the beginning of the downtown area,” Burton added. “That looks like something you see advertised in a strip club.’’ As for what should happen now, only one thing comes to mind: The billboard gets the hook, right along with the two numbskulls in it. Okay, that’s two things.
