ADS THAT WALLOW IN SEXUALITY HAVE NO PLACE ON PUBLIC BUSES : WISHING A QUICK RECOVERY TO AILING KRTH DISC JOCKEY.


Who is responsible for allowing questionable ads to be plastered on the exterior of public buses?

First we had a ``fake left, fake right'' comment positioned over a busty bust·y  
adj. bust·i·er, bust·i·est
Full-bosomed.

Adj. 1. busty - (of a woman's body) having a large bosom and pleasing curves; "Hollywood seems full of curvaceous blondes"; "a curvy young woman in a tight
 female model's upper torso, and though the ad was sports related, I wasn't the only one seeing the double entendre double entendre
Noun

a word or phrase with two interpretations, esp. with one meaning that is rude [obsolete French]

Noun 1.
, and was pleased to see the ad's demise.

Now we have a poster of a cute little girl having her swimsuit pulled down by a frisky frisk·y  
adj. frisk·i·er, frisk·i·est
Energetic, lively, and playful: a frisky kitten.



frisk
 puppy, and showing the contrast between her well-tanned body and her milk-white buttocks buttocks /but·tocks/ (but´oks) the two fleshy prominences formed by the gluteal muscles on the lower part of the back. .

This is in sick parody of a famous ad for a well-known tanning agent. I say parody as the child's and puppy's face have been superimposed su·per·im·pose  
tr.v. su·per·im·posed, su·per·im·pos·ing, su·per·im·pos·es
1. To lay or place (something) on or over something else.

2.
 with the grinning faces of two men, apparently radio personalities. This ad is not clever, it is appalling!

With the number of vile crimes committed by pedophiles on the rise, I feel this ad should be pulled immediately and tossed in the trash, where it belongs. Nothing is amusing about it, and all involved in its conception and display should think twice before using such questionable ideas in the future.

I'm a native of Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850.  and have been listening to Robert W. (Morgan) since I was a teen-ager hanging out at Venice Beach.

Now that I'm 44, I listen to him every morning and he makes that horrendous ride into Downtown L.A. absolutely hilarious

I laugh with him as if he's a passenger in my car and before you know it, I'm at work with no stress at all.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

Fashion comeback for fur won't fly, reader says

I could not believe your ``Ask Miz Hot Tips'' article in the May 15 edition of the Daily News.

Has the fashion editor, Barbara De Witt, been living in a cave? She says real fur is in again ``without the social stigma it had in the late '80s.''

Doesn't she know real fur is out and sales are way down? If people know the suffering these fur-bearing animals go through, they would never wear real fur.

Get with it, Ms. De Witt.
