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.
I think you have compounded your math error. Try dividing the number of Mormons (311K) by the total population of the state (1.3 million), which brings you to approximately 23.9 percent.
No. Just a joke.
Just added up the numbers from the site.
EVERYBODY!! JUST KILL ME!!

LOL. Nahh. It’s much more fun watching you twist. And having every newcomer to the thread encounter your post so by the end of the day, 843 freepers will have corrected your math.
Heh. That’s what came to mind for me, too.
If you guys need to look at images like this, go to any of the many many sites on the Internet or buy a girlie magazine. This isn’t about free speech, this is getting EVERYBODY to accept the lower standards of the Far Left society. Modesty, morality, decency are all byproducts of religion. By accepting this low class stuff in the name of free speech, the average person condones the coarsening of our culture. Sort of right church wrong pew:)
“..843 freepers will have corrected your math.”
And not even take the “Romney bait.” (sigh)

i just drove by this sign this morning on franklin road in boise.
i thought it was pretty funny
We get the Bob and Tom Show in my area. There are some funny bits now and then, but for the most part it is something you would expect to be put on by some horny 13 year-old teenaged pimple factory who shoots milk out of his nose everytime he hears the word ‘boobies’.
I listen when they have guests on, they get some great comedians, but if my daughters are in the car I would never turn them on.
Did I detect a negative tone in your post
toward moral training starting at an early age?
I’m going to discuss with my daughter, whenever we see such “immodest” displays, either live or on billboards or wherever, what messages such immodesty is sending, and how our family does not support such messages and values.
Where? On their Speedos?
Yeah, “cool ones” make decisions based upon what their peer group will think instead of based on good moral foundations.
You can have “cool” kids all you want. Mine will stay away from yours and be smart.
According to 2000 estimates, Idaho has about.........
Careful how you use the word ID-A-HO. You may get Imus’d.
Tard ping
BURQA’S FOR ALL!!!!!!
I’m originally from Indy and I’ve listened to the show for a long, long time. Yeah, the humor is low-brow, but it’s funny, and they’ve managed to keep it funny for over 20 years now. That’s pretty good.
I will admit, though, that the show gets a lot better when it goes off the network at 10:00 eastern. When it is them and Dog (who is the next deejay up on WFBQ), it’s a lot more freewheeling since they don’t have network and clear channel worries.
Chick is especially funny.
I see two inflated egos.
And Bob and Tom.
I have no doubt she will be using words far more complex than "immodest" three years from now.
Yeah, like, "You are required to wash my brown shirts every day, or I'll have to report you to the Ministry of Truth."
