[QUOTE]LANCASTER, Texas (CBS) ―
At first glance, it looks like a cartoon character. But a closer look reveals something much more revealing. A billboard along Interstate-35 in Lancaster is packing quite a sexual punch and some North Texans aren't amused.
The billboard was put up by the companies Condoms to Go and Sara's Secret. Both stores feature adult toys, lingerie and movies.
It features a cucumber with cartoon eyes and a mouth. The billboard reads "stop vegetable abuse."
The locally-owned adult stores are asking potential customers to consider alternative adult devices.
Employees of the stores say they've received several complaints since the billboard went up last week.
The campaign started from a television commercial (WARNING: Ad contains mild adult content.) that airs late night on cable TV. The television ad also features a moving cucumber looking for a place to hide. The spot ends with the message, "stop vegetable abuse."[/QUOTE]

What the fuck
Oh Texas, you silly goose.
good ad if I may say so myself
A billboard is a pretty overt place for an advertisement like that, really. I mean, it's in questionable taste at best.
e: Though it's not as though we're not accustomed to public space being rented out to the highest buyer, no matter how campy their crap may be.
the company should tell the texans that they're socialist if they don't let them use their capitalistic right for advertisement
that'd shut them up
That is a good ad. Beats our scam company AMI's [b]"Want longer lasting [highlight]SEX?[/highlight]"[/b]
Rate me box but I don't get it, is it just the fact that the cucumber is dick shaped? If so, that's kinda stupid.

Oh wait, disregard that, just got it.
I find this weird putting up a billboard like this considering Dildos are Semi-Illegal In Texas.
I don't find this offensive I find it funny.
If everything were bigger in Texas people wouldn't have to resort to vegetables. :cop:
I thought this was going to be a fat joke.
When I first saw it I thought it was some sort of anti-contraception advert.

Thats some funny shit man.
Use subliminal messages.
The entire South Carolina portion of I-95 is nothing but bright yellow sex toy ads. Texas doesn't know what inappropriate is!
Goddamn't Texas stop failing me.
Texas is experiencing a dumb streak.
Least it's not as bad as Australia though.

Yep, the unfortunate truth is...
[b]EVERYONE IS DUMB IN AUSTRALIA.[/b]
Except Facepunchers and a couple of good friends of mine, and maybe some other people.
At least in central Texas and other parts, you can see these large billboards for, "Yellow Rose," and, "Plantation," and other such reputable men's clubs. As well, a lot of billboards declaring, "XXX PORN NAKED BABES."
I think the real reason these people are mad is because it's so prominent, tastefully done, and high production value.

That highway is annoying 24/7 I live 1,000 ft from it

The only smart people in Australia are the Aboriginals, you and the few of your friends. There may also be a few non-dumb facepunchers.

I remember seeing a billboard in Wellington, New Zealand last year advertising anal beads and things like that. No one complained about it.
Also it's a pretty funny ad.
Pickle surprise!

Enjoy pickle juice in your vagina.
One of the few good ads and they complain about it?
Title should be "Everything offends texans"
Oh, wow. What a creative ad.
That's brilliant
Damn, that's a spark of originality.
