how ironic that in a photo in which they removed the female actress it shows frum girls who are now posted all over the internet...

Happy 2B: funny!

I am concerned that this billboard will provide an overwhelming temptation to those with a garden gnome fixation.

The gnome is cute, but Failed Messiah is disgusting. Did any of you scroll down to the bottom of the article? FM will have to give his accounting to his Creator one of these days, and it won't be pretty.

I would understand doing that if the lady wasn't dressed tsniusly, but it seemed like she was pretty covered up to me.

Aha! See? One garden gnome fetishist has been tempted already. How many thousands of other innocent passersby must have their yetzer harah titillated by this alluring gnome?

And it's a non jewish gnome at that. It's like a mini Santa Claus. It's a plot by secular bankers and non jewish advertisers to pollute our frum community with avodah zarah. Burn the billboards! Use then for Lag B'Omer firewood!

Lots of companies have separate advertisements for Chareidi, Chiloni and Arab neighborhoods. Nothing new, and IMO nothing offensive about it.

Yes, but at least there you can hear uncensored opinions (though they're not necessarily facts) without getting locked!

Yes.

I think it's weird, but it's not like any hareidi people were involved in actually making this policy. It was the advertiser's decision based on what they assume hareidim will want/ what they think will be effective.

Like in the other thread on women's pictures, it comes down to this chumra - money - chumra cycle, where a few people want a chumra, so newpapers/ads/buses/what have you adopt the chumra to make sure to keep their business, so now everyone is keeping the chumra, so now all the businesses are doing it as well... etc.
