I love Steve Brown and his crew over at stevebrownetc.com.
One of my favorite blogs to date is this one, posted this past July, about a churches response to a billboard displaying naked human “bottoms” displayed on the same building where they meet to worship. The best part of this blog, however are the comments concerning how the church should have turned the situation into a great opportunity.
Enjoy!
Pastor Neil Rhodes in New York does not like big butts (no, this doesn’t have anything to do with Sir Mix-a-Lot).
On July 1st, bathroom fixture manufacturer Toto planned to begin advertising their Washlet bidet-toilet seat via billboards on two sides of the building at 51st Street and Broadway. The ads feature bare butts with smiley faces on them (see pic).
The problem however is that this building houses the Times Square Church where Pastor Rhodes ministers. He complained about the booty billboards, and on Monday a judge ordered a temporary restraining order keeping them from going up. What’s more, the Times Square Church had to post a $90,000 bond that will be paid to Toto for damages if it’s found that the church is not entitled to an injunction.
