"Missouri bans sexy billboards along state highways
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) ? The Show Me State is cracking down on bawdy billboards. Gov. Bob Holden on Thursday signed a bill banning sexually suggestive billboards that promote strip clubs and other adult businesses. The ban applies within one mile of Missouri highways.
Some billboards in Missouri portray scantily clad women and read "Live Nude" or "Red Hot Nude."

"We have the right to drive the highways of this state without children being assaulted by these images," Holden said. "

when some of you are old enough, and have children, and begin to live middle class lives (or better) you will understand that this is reasonable.

people need to understand that the foisting of erotica upon people who do not want it is not cool.

and when you grow up, and live in very nice surroundings you do not want anything tawdry entering your mindset.

internet smut is conveyed in the privacy of one's home---it does not affect property values.

a highway billboard advertising a deja vu strip club or the latest sex toys at the next exit can have a negative effect on property values.

this is the truth, and i am not a prude.
