A billboard west of Brisbane, which features a bikini clad actress, has been slammed as inappropriate and too rude by the local council. The billboard advertises Brisbane's 2010 Sexpo event next month. Ipswich Councillor Trevor Nardi said
the billboard was not only a distraction for drivers but too sexual for its busy location and should be taken down immediately. The Advertising Standards Bureau said yesterday it was yet to receive any objections. I'm definitely not a
prude, ...BUT... I don't think we need billboards like this in our face, Cr Nardi said: I don't think it's appropriate and I don't think many people in the community would find it in good taste. The Sexpo billboard has now been
removed by owners Bishopp. It will be relocated in coming days.
