PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Are they clever ads with a play on words, or are they just outright sexually-explicit?

A valley store's new billboards are at the center of controversy, and Valley Metro has already pulled them off their trains.

The ads are nothing new; chances are you've seen them on trucks or billboards around Phoenix.

The owner of My Sister's Closet said she entered into an advertising agreement, the ads were approved, so she was stunned when the ads were abruptly pulled.

"Wanted: One Night Stand, Buy a Bigger Chest, Make a Booty Call," my sister's closet thought these ads were cheeky, but Valley Metro thought differently.

Today this would normally be viewed as quite tame. What’s been happening?

The gay crowd is offended because:
  1. One Night Stand = a suggestion that you are limited to one per night.
  2. Buy a Bigger Chest = suggests a female
  3. Make a Booty Call = suggests heterosexual intercourse and makes them feel excluded and uncomfortable.

I could see the normal sort of complaint that this is naughty language, but it can be viewed from the standpoint that not everything that sounds naughty, is naughty. One night stand is, sometimes, just one night stand. Or as Freud put it, a cigar is sometimes just a cigar (and it’s our fault for continuing to think ill of it).

You just can't make this stuff up:

Ann Siner, the owner/CEO

Buying a bigger chest could be about plastic surgery too. And what is a booty call, it sounds like contrived language to begin with (is that is how it is actually put in the red light district?).

I’d suggest to her just add a line to the ad (Clean your mind up as well as your closet)

Did some gay person discover she was guilty of being Republican and decide to be ‘offended’?

I believe Siner is a Conservative.

The light rail was pushed through by Janet Napolitano. Kinda wondering if there is some animosity from a liberal light rail faction.

Bill Clinton would disagree most vehemently with Freud’s simplistic assessment regarding cigars.

And “closet” implies a non-accepting environment to be yourself.

The URL uses “attic.” Which one is it, or does it go under both names?

Booty call has nothing to do with the red light district.

There are three different entities:
!) My Sister's Closet
2) My Sister's Attic
3) Well Dressed (for men)

All three are owned by Ann Siner. Source

They gross about 24 million a year

I can neither confirm or refute your belief she is a conservative. All I could find out is:

Colorado College
BA, Political Science

1977 – 1981 From her Linkedin Page

Maybe non-gays were offended too.

Maybe she should just distribute these ads in the middle schools?
