Billboards

Thank you for the article on the billboard jungle along the nation’s highways (Oct. 22). While I don’t expect scenic routes and beautiful countryside inside the city necessarily, the spate of sexually suggestive billboards that we’re forced to view while chauffeuring our children to school is just unbelievable. Aren’t there standards and guidelines that apply to entertainment marketing companies or the billboard companies?

In a sense, we’re all victims of commercialism. But having no choice but to accept the public viewing of adult images in a city teeming with youngsters is too much and it’s not right.
