Billboards showing a woman’s thong-covered buttocks are stirring up residents and officials in this Mediterranean city in Cyprus.
The ads for a clothing chain have become the talk of the town as city officials deal with a barrage of complaints from citizens arguing the image is indecent, Reuters reported Monday.
The ads which show a closeup of a woman’s buttocks covered only by a tan-colored thong, are not illegal officials say.
“If it was clearly pornographic, we could possibly intervene, but sometimes you see even more explicit pictures in family magazines,” said Petros Petrides, secretary of the city’s Media Complaints Commission.
