The Bottom Line: Officials in the town of Norwood, Mass., are not consenting to a billboard advertising the upcoming movie “Consenting Adults,” from Disney’s Hollywood Pictures. Town selectmen voted to remove the billboard, which shows a blond woman wearing nothing but a thin white scarf against a dark background, because they found it too racy. The shadows in the ad reveal only the silhouette of the woman’s body, but selectman Thomas Riolo said, “You can see her tush. We don’t need that with kids looking at it.” The movie about wife-swapping, starring Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, is due out Oct. 16.
