No Bordello Billboards During the Race Please
» Professionals
Bordello billboard ads are normal enough in Sao Paulo. But local yokels don’t want visitors to the Brazilian Grand Prix to see them.
Sao Paulo Mayor Jose Serra demanded the billboards be covered with blank white sheets and his code enforcement officers sealed doorways to the brothels, Romanza and Cafe Millenium, with concrete blocks.
The billboards showed a photo made to look like a scantily clad woman was performing fellatio on a man in a racing uniform. Captions on the advertisements said in both Portuguese and English: “Do you know what happens after the (winners) podium?.”
