Family Friendly Image

I live near a town in Maryland called Ocean City.  They pride themselves in being a family resort town.  We have beaches, a boardwalk, miniature golf courses, 2 small amusement parks and tons of hotels, motels, restaurants, and bars.

Today I come across this news article that Ocean City has rejected a bus ad of a tattoo shop called "Independant Tattoo"  Here the article..

"OCEAN CITY, Md.- Ocean City recently rejected a proposed bus ad promoting a tattoo company believing it didn't fit with the resorts "family-friendly" image, according to City Manager Dennis Dare.
Dare said the town has a policy to refuse certain ads on town-owned property, like buses. Those include ads that promote alcohol, cigarettes or contain political messages.
The Fenwick tattoo store that planned to display its ad on town buses, Independent Tattoo, said it disagrees with the town's notion that tattoos aren't "family-friendly."
"Everybody here is part of a family. Husbands, wives, children," said store manager Tasha Nilsen. "This business employs people with families . . . entire families come here to get tattooed. "Nielsen said the store received a refund from the ad agency it purchased the ad through."

How stupid is that?  Come on this town has a fraking porn shop.  Soon after the town councils made it where they can't add any more porn shops.  Plus there a bar at every few blocks.  Well a restaurant with a bar in it.  Shitloads of places to get alcohol around here is what I'm saying.  So at night, it not really so family friendly.  So what wrong with a tattoo ad on a bus?  Answer NOTHING!!  If you click on link above, it shows a picture of the ad.  It a fraking flower you dimwits!  You know how many people come to this town with a tattoo?  Almost everyone!  You can't go a few feet without seeing a girl tramp stamp.

Oh I like how it says they don't want advertisements that promote alcohol.  I've seen ads that promotes a bar.  Isn't that pretty much promoting alcohol?  I say so!!  So let the little tattoo shop have it ad.  It not gonna hurt the towns overall business.  Tourist are gonna come, they will spend their money.  They will take their families to the beaches just like they do every year.  Christ I've seen mom and dad drink around their kids.  I think seeing a tattoo ad will not hurt their fragile little minds.  Another thing,  we got slot machines coming.  Is that family friendly?  Probably not because it gonna take away other people business.  Sorry if you don't have a better product then you will lose.  People love to gamble.

What we do need is more porn shops and a strip joint.  Just to fully round out the place.  Give the tourist more options.  That is all.
