Sydney Morning Herald, January 18:
"New Zealand airport officials deny they lack a sense of humour, despite banning a billboard with a lacy bra-clad Jennifer Hawkins clutching a stuffed rhino with the caption: "Feeling horny?" The lingerie ad featuring Australia's former Miss Universe was declined by Auckland International Airport, which felt it was a "step too far". "The bottom line is the airport has a vast array of people of different nationalities, different ages, and our view was that it was just not in keeping with general airport image and brand," the airport's general manager retail Nick Forbes told NZPA. But Forbes, an Australian, felt it was unfair to say airport management lacked a sense of humour. "If you straw-polled most of the people around our office they just had a good laugh and think it's great," he said. "On a personal level I don't really have an issue and not many people probably do but we've got to try and be sensitive." Forbes said the airport had had billboards in the past that some found inappropriate and wanted to tread carefully. The airport had declined "very little" advertising. "That one was maybe just one step too far." The lingerie billboard is not the first airport billboard in New Zealand to raise eyebrows. In December, the Advertising Standards Complaints Board upheld a complaint about a Christchurch billboard for cars which showed a late-model car beside a partial image of a "long legged woman in a brief pair of shorts" who appeared to be hitching a ride. The heading of the billboard read, "Drive Bling Bling, Get Bang Bang!"" No offence to any New Zealanders, as many wouldn't object, but whats the general opinion of this banning? |

Way more tasteful than the Windsor Smith Billboard, and I actually think I know what they are advertising.
Plus Jennifer Hawkins is way better looking.

Doesn't bother me, I like the female anatomy as much as the next guy but the guy in my head does seem to agree, some-what. Being an International Airport I'm guessing they don't want visitors to New Zealand (especially first timers) being greeted by a massive pair of jugs. : Outside a stadium, yes! In fact anywhere else bar a church/school etc etc is fine. My 0.02c
