those ads atop cabs (or when sexy and taxi don’t mix) - outdoor lighted signs

It's an advertisement for the gentleman club (
Euphemism for strip clubs)
Even if it doesn't show the body of a woman, it's OK to sit in a taxi?
Some people think so.
City Room received email
An email from a father worried about the number of taxis --
He used to advertise at strip clubs in New York, such as Flash Dancers and New York Dolls.
"It makes me feel very inappropriate," said Alex Yanos, the father of the three children --
Age 5, 7 and 9
He lives in Harlem.
"Taxis are everywhere.
As parents, this means that they often appear on the faces of children.
They will ask questions, he said.
"Everyone is curious: Mom, what is that girl doing?
What do they want to sell?
The club is an adult.
Only in the audience, in their online marketing.
The New York Doll website claims to be "the only place where you can watch our beautiful adult entertainers when you check your favorite stock offer", warning: this website contains explicit material.
Please do not enter this site unless you are legal age.
The material on this website is not suitable for children.
If you are under the age of 18 or you are offended by nudity, please quit. NOW! ! !
While there are many women on the Flash Dancers website who are exposed to clothing, there is no warning. (
City rooms can be linked to the website but we are a familyfriendly blog. )Taxi-
In 1975, due to a lot of opposition, launched a top-level advertising (
Even then Mayor Abraham D ·Beame).
In the end, these bright signs are seen as a security measure.
Since then, other taxi parts have also become advertising spots. pdf]
And the back seat. Allan J.
Fromberg, a spokesman for the taxi and limousine board, said the organization does not have any general policy to regulate the content of advertising.
"Our role has always been to ensure the engineering and safety of the wiring harness units that hang the ads," he said . ".
However, the group did "have the ability to remove the item called 'violating public morals in local law, '" Mr. Fromberg added.
The outdoor transparent passage is dominated by taxis.
The biggest advertising company in New York, the gentleman's club, most of the ads were put by Show Media, an outdoor advertising company that handles ads for about 2,000 taxis.
Clear Channel has policies for gentleman clubs, online gambling and tobacco advertising (
In any case, this is usually banned in New York and elsewhere).
A senior executive pointed out that the gentleman's club advertisement in the taxi was "not good for the media ".
"Show Media, founded in 1998 by entrepreneur Lawrence Khalil, now sells ads in New York and Los Angeles. (
The previous incarnation of the same name, starting with the billboard of Las Vegas, was sold to Clear Channel. )
An employee at the Show Media New York office said the company did not comment on the complaints.
There was a debate about risque taxi ads.
From the advertisement of Calvin Klein underwear to the advertisement of George vodka, which is an outdoor advertisement for the property of the metropolitan traffic administration of CBS (
Advertising in a taxi).
Some of these ads can be said to be more instructive than these.
Neil Greenbaum, who is in charge of all taxi management, put the strip club ads in the background.
"We have fewer complaints about Flash Dance ads than other provocative ads," he said . "
There are some strip club ads in Greenbaum's taxi.
The advertisement for "flash dancer" shows a woman's shoulder.
In the past, drivers sometimes raised concerns based on their religious beliefs.
Some drivers, he said, object to provocative advertising and I don't believe they will find that provocative.
"I wouldn't have put them in my taxi if I found them provocative.
Comments are no longer accepted.
The doll market in New York may not be up, but some of their customers are up.
There is no doubt that our sex is inappropriate.
Negative culture.
Delete ads or change culture.
This is a very difficult person to call.
I understand the concerns of parents . . . . . . But guess what . . . . . . Those same kids are more likely to see nasty behavior on TV than static ads.
I would understand this if they posted women with clothing exposure, but ask for a change, not a deletion.
Sorry . . . . . . Leave an advertisement . . . . . . I told my kids they sell hairspray, a lot of hairspray.
Not good for the streets of New York.
Our daily environment and culture will become thicker.
We get rid of cigarette advertising, a legitimate "product ";
We should throw these things away.
Heaven forbid parents to speak clearly in an era.
Take a proper attitude towards the vagaries of life. (
Or put them in a container that is isolated from all society-art, music, commercials, books, magazines, advertisements, movies, TV, MTV, other kids, and more. )
It seems to be more about the embarrassment of parents about sex than the innocent.
No problem with the strip bar. (
But they quickly separated the fool from their coin. )
When will this Muslim society accept sex (
Or should be considered)
Nature and Nature?
An advertisement featuring photos of women is maddening when selling services.
I am totally in favor of going back to a world of "facing you" advertising that is less than we are now.
But let's ask some difficult questions instead of easy ones.
If we really care about the emotional health of our children, let's start with movie and video game ads rated R (or M)
Not because of sex, but because of violence.
Violent pictures and their use to entertain children under the age of 17 have left me far more frustrated as a parent than the strip club ads.
Advertising should be OK, but people should be able to buy candy or newspapers without reading 100 pornographic magazines.
I want to argue that taxis are more in the public interest than purely private magazine stations, but the difference does not seem to be true.
The whole culture needs to be transformed into a culture that treats women as people rather than things.
Let's see some men with exposed clothes in some advertisements.
Seriously, there are as many skins children see in Victoria's Secret ads.
I want to ban them, too? ?
Next you will know that there will be photos of these girls on the Internet.
In all parts of New York, the prime minister raised his ugly head?
Overcome by yourself.
Sex is a commodity. if you don't realize it now, you're not yourself.
Have enough knowledge of the surrounding culture. 6-
Sex is natural but should not be made public.
It's also natural to go to the bathroom (
Yes, the sex is beautiful, unlike the bathroom, but in any case, nature is not equal to public).
Having sex in public can lead to women being conquered-women always sell themselves to men, not the other way around.
Of course, it's their fantasy that people don't mind being patronized (
To record me as a man).
If there is less public pornography, rape is likely to be less, and we have gotten rid of the parental notion of the relationship between men and women in our 60 s, but have yet to get rid of this conquest.
Of these two ads, you only see the head of a woman.
She can sell anything.
It's inappropriate to say that half of the ads in Vogue are inappropriate.
If you have a child asking about your advertisement, say they dance to make a living.
You're not lying to them.
I wish you all the best of Giuliani pilgrims!
From advertising to breast, I have had enough complaints from my parents.
Feeding in public
Do you want to show publicly that your breasts are sucked but can't handle the portrait of a stripper?
There is a small town in Ohio where you can move if the big city is too real for you.
I 've never been to a strip club in New York and don't want to go, but it's a complaint from my parents, too much.
Is there a Viagra advertisement on the taxi?
Tell the kid what Viagra does.
The cost of living in a free society. . I guess….
Oh, New York. grown up.
3-freespeechist, this is a very difficult person to call.
Looking up and down her neck, she doesn't show anything, and today's movies, TV shows, video games, and some girls who wear clothes to school almost make this a meaningless point of view.
Maybe the text on the advertisement can be smaller? ?
4-Shea, this is very interesting.
In New York, any 10-year-old can go to any corner to hear the country.
The last 10 pages of VV are filled with hundreds of images and advertisements for "body" and "massage" that are 100 times more aggressive than these taxi ads.
Growing up in the Midwest, you have to be friends with dad who has a porn collection to get these things, and a kid in New York has a good access to these pictures, no internet, and of course no need to see a taxi, it's much easier.
If you think your 10-year-old boy has not yet looked for and found graphic images outside of the taxi ads, you forget how it feels to be a child.
A half naked woman or man in the ad won't offend me, and I'm trying to make it normal for people's bodies, so it's sex.
But I certainly don't like the ads for the "gentleman club" and I find it a bad taste: it's not about sex, it's about women selling services to men (genetelman? )
As a mother, I do not want this information to be accessible to my children.
I want my male kids to learn to respect women, and ads that encourage men to buy women's "sexy" services don't show the female image I want my kids to learn.
I can definitely control what my kids see on TV or on the Internet, but I can't control the ads on taxis running up and down in New York . . . . . . . Wake up America. .
Tell your kids what they're advertising!
Do you really think they don't know?
Or maybe we should continue our double morality, let our children have unprotected sex, and not be open to our parents on basic issues such as sex education.
For Pete's sake, they're just strip clubs.
Do you know how many store stores in the world sell all kinds of sex, and there are magazine catalogues in convenience stores?
This is a very healthy version and there is no problem with advertising.
If any, the sex store should be legal, so that the disease and crime of the underground sex market will be reduced and employees can sign contracts to join or resign.
I totally agree with the person who mentioned porn on the newsstand-is your child really curious about the hat cap? Are they (cab toppers)
Is it really so eye-catching for the children?
If this is the case, taxi ads should definitely charge more and may consider selling these spaces to companies and products that sell the market for children.
Yes, it's lewd-but in everyday life in New York, there's something worse than a small advertising space, where there's the name of an agency and the head of a woman --
Hit on top of a taxi
In fact, have you tried to take your children to see a large local video recently?
With a lot of terror
For children, it's disgusting to watch porn at the eye level.
Those who think that complaining about strip joints is the same as complaining about risque ads don't understand.
Strip is a brothel.
Take a look at a series of recent prosecutions at another club "Hot Dance.
Women working there have lost their souls.
Many people are abused or raped by family members, and almost everyone is addicted to drugs.
As a society, we do not condone the conquest of women, nor do we allow advertising to spread throughout the city, forcing ourselves into the lives of our children, which sends the opposite message.
Children aged 5 and 6 can read.
It is not only an image but also a word.
I just feel like they don't need to know men buy women at this age. 1.
For the father of the three children, it is true to tell your child that these advertisements are for dancers.
Don't throw away ads, but at least ask not to misspell them.
It's a gentleman's club, not a gentleman's club.
Now, it really annoys me!
