Happy Butts Not Allowed In Times Square

What sounds like something that should end up on Page Six in the New York Post, ended up on Advertising Age.com when Toto Washlet was slapped with an injunction. Last week, Toto Washlet had to do a quick change on their creative for their high-tech toilets campaign which is running in Times Square. The reason, well of course, someone had to complain that it was offensive. Rev. Neil Rhodes of the Times Square Church apparently found butts to be offensive since they were pointed at his church so all of a sudden a eye catching and original advertising campaign has to be changed. The campaign is in line with their home page, click here to see their web site.
