Club - Wondering what you think of this

It is commercial speech, so maybe that is a difference. Just curious as to what you think.

Missouri Removing Pornography Billboards

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Having just learned to read, 5-year-old Taylor Ray was naturally curious about the billboard in plain view from his parents' vehicle along Interstate 70.

"Dad, what is `XXX'?" Jim Ray recalled his son asking.

"I've tried to explain to him that it's something for adults that he'll understand when he's older," Ray said.

That answer satisfied Taylor for about a mile, until the family drove past a similar sign.

"It's completely unavoidable," Ray said. "The signs refer to toys and novelties. Those things are going to catch his attention."

The abundance of outdoor sex advertisements also has caught the attention of Missouri legislators, who are aggressively trying to cut down on the signs.

Separate bills approved by the state House and Senate would ban most highway billboards for businesses where workers appear nude or where more than 10 percent of the store space is used to display pornography.
