Inappropriate Signs
March 17th, 2009 by admin
RAUNCHY strip club signage is posing a moral and physical danger to Hobart schoolchildren, critics say, after one youngster walked into a pole while ogling a picture of a “rude lady”.
Hobart Hooters Bar owner Peter Johnson was today refusing to replace two signs causing some offence, saying the controversy was “a storm in a D-cup”.
The club is close to a cinema and a private girls’ school and its 2m-high exterior signs are visible from 100m away.
They show a woman’s naked torso and a bikini-clad pole dancer.
The Advertising Standards Bureau has received complaints about the signs and the girls’ school principal says they are inappropriately placed.
The Hobart City Council is struggling to find a regulation prohibiting the signage – amendments to planning have been flagged to remove the signs.
