'Bob And Tom' Billboard Too Racy For Some

BOISE, Idaho -- The Indianapolis-based "Bob And Tom" radio show is the subject of controversy in Boise, Idaho, where some say a caricature is a bit too revealing.

Billboards promoting the nationally syndicated show, which originates at WFBQ, show likenesses of Bob and Tom strategically placed on a tight T-shirt, covering a woman's chest.

Some parents were upset that their children are seeing the billboard.

"My kids both saw it and my daughter is 7 and she said, 'Mom, that's gross, that's immodest,'" said Kayla Mooso. "I think that's against my parental rights because I can't turn it off like I can when I choose not to buy a magazine or I choose not to go to the back of the video store."

Scott Souhrada, the program director of the Boise station that carries the show, said he think the billboard speaks to the audience he is trying to reach.

"The audience for the Bob and Tom show is predominately men 25-54 and we thought that would appeal to them and attract their attention," Souhrada said.

Management at the station said it is taking public comment into consideration and will decide later this week if the billboards will stay up.

That's just about the best description I've heard of their show. I first heard them in '00, and their show hasn't changed much since then...fart jokes and snickers about "morning wood". Still, if folks want to listen to that rot, let 'em.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Did I detect a negative tone in your post toward moral training starting at an early age?

You may have detected something, only you know for sure. I felt neutral about it when I wrote it and was thinking more about how kids learn than the moral issues. That's the main pitfall when it comes to written communication. Without body language and/or tonal cues it's tough to determine intent unless the language is extremely descriptive. Did you intend a self righteous tone in your reply?

I had a girlfriend once who looked just like that. For an hour and two hundred bucks.

Give us Britney Spears and Paris Hilton,those upstanding role models of feminism’s success,and woe to the man caught
looking at women’s....mammary glands.
