BOISE, Idaho, May 3 Two moms in Idaho don't appreciate the humor of a radio station's billboard depicting two goofy morning show hosts' faces pasted over a woman's breasts. The billboard for radio station 96.9, "The Eagle," in Boise, Idaho, proclaims "Two Boobs in the Morning" in an attempt to draw attention to the syndicated Bob and Tom Show, program manager Scott Souhrada told CNN. But Carrie Dayley and Kayla Mooso say its sexist and inappropriate. "I don't want that tolerated in my community," Dayley said. "I don't think it's appropriate anywhere, really." Souhrada said the morning show is geared to men 25 to 54 years old and the billboard at a prominent intersection was meant to attract them. The woman shown on the billboard is clothed but bares ample cleavage. Souhrada said there's other advertising around that is "much more provocative," CNN reported Wednesday. But Mooso objects because she can't avoid it as she can other media messages she finds objectionable. She said her two children don't find it humorous, either. "My 7-year-old said 'Mom, that's gross. That's immodest,'" she said. Copyright 2007 by UPI

Would they think a statue of a
half naked Jesus on the cross immodest?

Are any of you actually from Idaho? If you aren't, shut up and sit down. You would not understand the culture out here.

Lets look at this from a bigger picture. A few weeks ago Radio Personality Don Imus gets fired for offending black women. Well that isn't fair on the upright middle-class white women of America now is it? Why should one group of women get to have all that media attention just because they are black? But how can the upright middle-class white women get equal media attention. Well we can't claim racism but we CAN claim sexism. THAT'S IT! That's our ticket to equal media attention at the expense of innocent Radio Personalities. I agree with the comments about the \

I find it interesting that when 'conservatives' try to push their views on everyone and people who don't share their views try to stop it, that 'conservatives' somehow see this as a contradiction.
Separation of church and state and freedom of speech are both in the constitution. Political correctness is all BS, but that doesn't stop either side from using it as often as they can apply it.
I'm not seeing your double standard here Dan, perhaps you could elaborate?

I find it interesting when liberals are offended by religious views or something that is not Politically Correct it must be stopped. But if something offends someone with conservative views the liberals are claiming their 1st ammendment rights. Yes, there is a double standard.

Not only would a 7-year-old not use the term "immodest," they would most likely not even know what the idea of immodesty is. at 7, you're barely past the point in your life where you're running around naked in front of anybody. I really hope that someday these women find something more meaningful in their lives than complaining about advertisements.

what a prudish daughter she must be raising..how about instilling sense of humor in her, instead of teaching her to cover her eyes and blush. We all now how that will work REAL well in the REAL world for her.

Deal with it! Boobs are a part of life. I would bet these two women are insecure with their own bodies and afraid there husbands are looking at this billboard wishing they had a broad with huge cans!

In the article one of the mother's claims her 7 year old daughter said "Mom, that's gross. That's immodest"
I do not know of a single 7 Year old girl who uses the word immodest unless they are brainwashed drones.
If this mother feels that her perfict little child can not stand the sight of a clothed female breast then maybe she should just keep her in the house for the rest of her life. Of course that will not help when the child grows her own pair but by then maybe she will have a speck of individuality.

Stop trying to push overly conservative morals on everyone else. I want to live in the America I was promised when I was growing up. Oh yeah by the way 7 year olds dont say immodest.

I see her point, and that she lies about what her child says.

A 7 year old would not say "That's Immodest." I don't think a seven year old would understand the idea of modesty since most children are innocent and naive about indecency sexual mores.

Apperently the wrong faces were on the billboard.
This constant PC oversensitivity has got to end. I find it incredibly distateful to find myself in a world filled with prudes. I have an 11 yr old, 8 yr old, and 6 yr old daughter...If they asked me about such a sign I would explain the intent and humor and let them judge for themselves if they found it funny. Would they? Maybe or maybe not...but they would understand that it wasn't sexist or racist or anything but sillyness.
Lighten up already

You are never going to make everyone happy, especially those lacking a sense of humor, or that are unwilling to allow other's to be entertained. Their concern for this billboard will only bring more attention to this add.

I'm sure all seven year olds go around saying "that's immodest" and "that's inappropriate." And, of course, seven year olds are the ones who should be deciding what can and can't be used in advertising. Howzabout the fact that you can find a woman walking down the sidewalk bearing more any day of the week. And, yes, women have boobs. How sexist of me to notice.

Why do our societies continue to listen to the complaints of narrow-minded mothers who are trying to twist the world into a place that fits in with the creepy, fantasy based views they beat into their poor children's heads?

Obviously they're talking about Boobies (a type of bird) otherwise they're talking about Boobs (a type of idiot) I'm so sure your 7 year old said "that's immodest". Anyone who claims that is a Boob

No 7 yr. old is going to use the term "immodest." It's ridiculous this woman can't use her own words appropriately and must make up words to stuff in her child's mouth.

I seriously doubt a 7 year old said the word "immodest". Give it a rest ..it's just a billboard!

If your 7 year old knows the meaning of the word "immodest", then you might be a fundie.

Pretty odd to have an article talk about a billboard with no picture of the billboard.
