CHICAGO, May 30 Hundreds of residents in Glenview, Ill., are up in arms regarding a billboard that highlights fixable instances of aging on a scantily clad woman.The Chicago Tribune said Wednesday that more than 300 Glenview residents signed petitions that call for the removal of the racy billboard, which advertises an area medical spa and salon.Many complaints focused on how the sign points out the wrinkles and face lines on the featured woman."It doesn't represent us as people whose beauty emanates from within," Regina Thibeau said to the Tribune. "I'm a mother, a wife, a member of the PTA and this is an affront to everything I work for and try to instill in my children." Yet the owners of the advertised spa and salon refused to remove the sign and Cook County Commissioner Gregg Goslin said local authorities are unlikely to take action."We don't regulate taste," Goslin told the Tribune. "That's part of the problem here; when you start regulating who's offended and who's not offended, that's just a really tough issue." Copyright 2007 by UPI
