5. I saw a billboard on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles a few weeks ago

that was a picture of a woman, close up of her face about 3/4 angle, holding something like a glass milk bottle up with her head back, as if to be drinking but the bottle was away from her face. On her face were splashes of milk/cream, resembling, well you know what. I looked and looked for a brand name and didn't see one. I assume it was a milk/cream company? I don't see how that billboard makes anyone want to consume something like that though, so really, it could have been something entirely different.

What was very clear was what they were depicting with that and I was shocked to see something so graphic up on a billboard. Who green lighted that marketing idea???

And how is that okay in anyone's professional mind to put that out there like that?
