Tom, sex sells.... you have to wonder how much lower the bar can/will be lowered in the future.

I'm not a prude but you have to wonder whats next for the "public"eye.

Well, I was on my way to Hell anyway. Now at least there's something to look forward to.

We can do better.
Just that degrading the best most personal part of the human experience... is sad. AND Wrong.

Princess sent me this:

" I would say this ad breaks all 4 parts of section 14 of this code.

And Princess is NEVER wrong.

Tom, trying to be the moral police to the world is a highway with no end. It's best to just let it go. Otherwise you risk being in the same camp as that Davis dingbat cracker in the states that went to jail for refusing marriage licenses to same sex couples.

**TOM4CWB** · Sep 30, 2015, 17:30

I understand...

Happy Wife Happy life. We don't need Killam to be world renowned for this... it is not fair to anyone here. No Doubt there will be national exposure of this... before resolution... that sign can't have been cheap to make.

I hope the best for the guys running the business... just not this way!

Sometimes what seems like a good idea at the time becomes eventually realized as bad judgement. In this case, without any further publicity, I doubt anyone even notices the sign. It's really not very catchy.
