YOUR 15 MINUTES: Is Vegas the New Vagina?

It seems a Hooters billboard in Clearwater Florida which reads "Liquor in Clearwater, Poker in Vegas" took the innuendo a bit too far for Mayor Frank Hibbard who, a couple weeks ago upon returning from church, didn't think it was the right message to send to those entering Clearwater. "The first time I read it, it went over my head, and then I got it," said Hibbard. "I thought, 'That's not good.'"

It's funny, only because last night, I was talking to a friend who was sight seeing with her mom a few weeks back, and they happened to stumble upon a great restaurant that happened to be across the street from a nudie bar. LIVE NUDE GIRLS the sign flashed! "Um, Mom, let's just, um, keep walking."

Anyway, the mayor asked the chain to change the board and a new one went up this past Thursday which reads, "Liquor in Clearwater, Casino in Vegas." Apparently, one of the original boards is still up on I-275 in Tampa.
