 Click for image NSFW in Colorado Springs |
Puppet cleavage has been ruled out for advertising posters in Colorado Springs bus shelters.
Lamar Advertising rejected posters for a touring production of the Broadway show “Avenue Q” because they show the cleavage of a fuzzy pink puppet.
The city is known for its political conservatism and is home to the headquarters of some conservative Christian groups.
The poster has been replaced by one showing the face of another puppet.
“Avenue Q” is a Tony-winning musical about twentysomething New Yorkers, both human and puppets, searching for life and love.
Would you expect to find either in a proper Christian city.
As a cross lover/bible thumper, I am offended. Seeing that makes me want to masturbate repeatedly.
And you fear Al Qaeda…??? Jeezzz… fundamentalists all over.
What happened to “Make Peace, No War” and Flower Power and Timothy Leary, Janis Joplin and – Barry Goldwater… in the land of the brave and the free?
You fear nudity more than guns, bombs and maiming… What is wrong with lust among consenting adults? And what is wrong in making love? I just wonder ’cause I don’t understand.
Another guy also loved God on his side… I think the slogan was “Got Mit Uns” and the name was Adolf. He had a lot of God on jis side in the 30ies and 40ies…
To know history and learn from it is always good.
LMAO
the puppet is ugly. if i saw an old woman showing her bewbs off I’d be offended too.
The sad/weird thing is if it was a poster of a real woman it wouldn’t have caused such a controversy.
If they didn’t like the poster, wait until they see the show. There is an absolutely hilarious puppet sex scene
Colorado Springs is a town which just recently rejected tax increases by the city. As a result, virtually all public services (except for police and fire) have been shut-down.
So how is it they still have an department enforcing sign laws? And how do they still have public transit?
So I take it that “Team America” didn’t do so well in Co. Springs?
Heaven help us if they ever realize that Donald Duck isn’t wearing any PANTS!
Puppet cleavage offends SOME OVERZELOUS Colorado Christians
Well I am sooo glad that all of the big important issues of our times have been solved so we can concentrate on the little things…
Do these conservative christrian groups need psychological help? Yes! Most sane people who have weird fantasies usually keep it to themselves or to like minded people. But these christrian groups seem hell bent on outlawing every fantasy they have. Why can’t they be like normal people?
Get a private room!!!
Good Grief!!! How on Earth does Lamar Advertising represent “Colorado Christians”? Seems like a hasty conclusion due to willful bias.
It seems to me that the reason why the advertising agency rejected the ad was because their community standards (conservative) are not into “sexualizing” the children through suggestive ads potentially aimed at children.
Just because someone is conservative, doesn’t mean they are Christian.
The city of Colorado Springs didn’t reject the ad.
The advertising agency rejected the ad.
Big difference. Reading comprehension is mightier than a jerking knee.
The only thing funnier than US morality laws are muslim morality laws. Now, nobody’s fooling anybody. Everybody knows that americans love tits in particular and sex in general, so what’s the big deal? I remember when I first got to Spain. I thought it was great. The bill boards, TV commercials, and the beaches are full of topless young ladies. At first it was embarrassing, I found myself drilling holes in the sand at the beach till I got used to it. But I did get used to it. I say FREE the TITS! Set them loose. Let those magical love cushions get some air, god doesn’t mind.
You have to admit it is just a little bit silly…
I live in New Mexico, and occasionally drive through Colorado Springs on the way to Denver and the Midwest. In general, fundies offend me far more than the sexy puppet does, and there are a lot of fundies in Colorado Springs.
That’s one reason I don’t plan to spend a dime in that city when I drive through Colorado Springs. Instead, I’ll get lunch early and fill up in Trinidad CO where the sex change clinic is.
It must be obscene, because looking at that picture gave Pinocchio a woody.
Heaven help us if they ever realize that Donald Duck isn’t wearing any PANTS!
Priceless !!
I can see them burning copies of ‘Meet the Feebles’ in the streets!
Muppet Movie: Gonzo and Kermit seeing Miss Piggy and chorus line of chickens dancing on stage.
Kermit: “Nice looking girl!”
Gonzo: “Nice looking chickens!”
Fap fap fap
Guess you can’t study Geology either, because of the “Cleavage” !!! Maroons !!!
MEEP! MEEP! MEEP!
It seems that everything reminds these sickos of sex. It’s all they seem to think of. They are sex obsessed.
Sex is like oxygen. As long as you are getting enough it’s no big deal.
Organized religion has been the major cause of misery throughout history. I wish they would just live their own lives and leave the rest of us alone.
I believe I heard the Lamar advertising exec responsible for the decision say that he declines anything that he would have trouble explaining to his child or his grandma.
But has all Tiger Woods advertising and imagery been banned in Colorado? No? Hypocrites.
Makes my willy-string taut.
Has it ever occured to you folks that the religious “nut” types like these serve a purpose- that of preserving society? They want us to not get *too* close to our animal nature.
EDIT- If it’s not Miss Piggy cleavage (baconage?), I don’t want to see it, anyway.
Someone from Denver with a private plane should fly a gigantic penis banner over Colorado Springs. When asked why, he should respond that it was done in protest to certain “members” of the Colorado Springs area.
