Lick Her In Clearwater, Poke Her In Vegas

It seems a Hooters billboard in Clearwater Florida, sent to us by Flickr user id10t, which reads “Liquor in Clearwater, Poker in Vegas” took the innuendo a bit too far for Mayor Frank Hibbard who, a couple weeks ago upon returning from church, didn’t think it was the right message to send to those entering Clearwater. He asked the chain to change the board and a new one went up this past Thursday which reads, “Liquor in Clearwater, Casino in Vegas.” Apparently, one of the original boards is still up on I-275 in Tampa.

We’re interested in what female readers think of the initial headline. Is it harmless wordplay or does it perpetuate the image of women as sexual plaything?
