That is exactly the label I was guessing. Not great wine but I do like the artwork.

I’m sure the drinking age is at least as high, if not higher, than the “racy” magazine purchase age in Alabama. Seems silly.

Wow, a state alcohol agency that is more fascist than TABC (Texas). I didn't think there was such a thing.

What if I wanted to put the Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" on my label? I wonder if they'd ban that too.

Joe Bob from the Alabamas liquor control agency:

"Hail, if ya buys that wine, then ya probly end up gettin' drunk and fallin' off a by-sickle like that girl on the label!"

Liquor laws are like this.

Same as tobacco is controlled in how it can be marketed.

I hear that you can’t even put COLD BEER on both sides of street sign (in Texas).

It’s BS. The ATF is a tax regulatory agency. The power to tax is the power to destroy.

And some misguided souls say “legalize pot and end the drug war”, “tax the hell out of it”. It’d just move the DEA under the ATF to make sure that home growers, etc were caught up on their tax stamps and not using provocative advertising or making statements to actually encourage its use.

That’s racy? Just go to walmart and check out the register news stands and get way more racy than that.

When I was a kid in the early 60s I remember seeing a billboard of a topless nymph looking into a pool of water. I can't remember the advertisers name. It was for Schweppes or Canada Dry soda.

That's as dumb as Ashcroft putting Lady Liberty in a towel.

Folks, every human child out there has already seen a boob. And they came out of it better than before.

Stupid ad.....

long hair would get caught in the derailleurs...

plus that tire must really burn...

plus it's uphill......obvisously a sprinter...can't do shit if it's not downhill...

She’s not nude, she’s just wearing a skin colored leotard (like figure skaters use).

[Yardstick]

Quaint and kind of charming. Also a little embarrassing (I live in AL).

But this is a perfect illustration of why uptight conservative types are less of a threat to our liberties than liberals are. The UCT’s might get their panties in a knot over a stylized nude, but they won’t raise your taxes or socialize the healthcare system — things that really do infringe your liberty.

Oh, for God’s sake...

I remember the sad day back in the sixties when the Public Morals Squad made them draw a diaphonous scarf over the White Rock Girl’s titties (can I say titties?). Ruined my little ten year old world.
