NEWARK, N.J., March 2 (UPI) -- The billboard company responsible for a New Jersey ad derided by some as too sexually suggestive said the billboard will come down.
CBS Outdoor, based in New York, said the Newark billboard for AKOO, the clothing company owned by rapper T.I., will be taken down promptly after numerous complaints from city residents, The (Newark) New Jersey Star-Ledger reported Tuesday.
The billboard depicts a kneeling woman looking at the camera while resting her head against the unbuckled jeans of a standing man.
CBS Outdoor said last week the billboard was well within the company's guidelines for decency, but reversed the decision this week after an increase in complaints and media coverage, officials said.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker's office said the official was reviewing options for having the billboard taken down prior to the CBS announcement.
