What an incredibly European headline.

This is why I love America, the first amendment is dope.

Edit: It's hilarious to see the usual Lemmy leftists spazzing out in the replies. A lot of them is just them being made about grooming being banned in certain contexts, but the only thing they're materially wrong is about the general state of physical displays in America as a whole. The local policies of Florida for example aren't nationalized, they're locally specific to the state of Florida exclusively.

Ha, you think a billboard in the US can put whatever they want? Try putting up a nude picture (trying to think of something that would be considered "overtly sexual") and seeing how long it stays up.

“Los Angeles Apparel” billboards.

Which is on the level with this. I fail to see what this proves. You can't even breastfeed in public and many public libraries don't even allow the mention of gender. You think they'll allow a nipple on a billboard? The US is waaaaay behind Europe who has had nudity in public TV (with limitations, but far less restrictive than the US). I'd like to see more liberal rules on speech, but for now they'll continue to be more conservative due to various sects of people in this country.
