HAVE YOU SEEN THE SOFT PORN BILLBOARDS?
We can't believe young children are being exposed to these images. And if we do not react next time they will remove the black strip.
Please contact the advertisers to express your dismay that they would support such trash and expose innocent children traveling the highways of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut to such provocative images!!!
CONTACT INFO FOR K-ROCK ADVERTISERS:
CALL SCRIPT: Tell the person who answers the phone that you are calling them because they advertise on the 92-KRock website, and you are very offended by 92-KRock's billboard campaign with naked women with a single banner across a small part of their bodies, all over our roadways. This violates [your] right to keep these images away from your children. Urge them to PLEASE tell 92-KRock, "This type of advertising is not helping your business and that people like me wish for you to advertise elsewhere!"

SAMPLE EMAIL MESSAGE FOR ADVERTISERS
I am contacting you because your company advertises on the 92-KRock website, and I am very offended by K-Rock's billboard campaign displaying naked women with only a banner across a small part of their bodies. These illicit billboards are on commonly traveled roadways in the NJ/NY metropolitan area and are inappropriate for family viewing.
Parents and guardians have enough trouble trying to keep their children from unsolicited pornographic assaults on the internet. The last thing parents want is for soft porn billboards to be plastered before their kids' eyes in roadways we travel day in and day out.
Adolescents, teens, and even fathers don't need any further unsolicited enticements or encouragement to look for pornography or be enabled to place these soft porn images on their computers.
Your company, by supporting and advertising on the K Rock website, is contributing to this campaign which is indecent and violates community standards, as well as my right to protect innocent, young children from such images.
I encourage you to advertise elsewhere as this type of advertising will discourage people like me from supporting your business. Please let me know what you intend to do about this issue. I am sure that this is an oversight and that your company wishes to maintain its family-friendly image.
Thank you,

REMOVE OFFENSIVE SOFT PORN BILLBOARDS!
The soft porn billboards you have placed in the NY/NJ metropolitan area in prominent, commonly traveled roadways are offensive and inappropriate for family viewing. Parents and guardians have enough trouble trying to keep their children from unsolicited pornographic assaults on the internet. The last thing parents want is for soft porn billboards to be plastered before their kids' eyes in roadways we travel day in and day out.
Adolescents, teens, and even fathers don't need any further unsolicited enticements or encouragement to look for pornography or be enabled to place these soft porn images on their computers. This campaign of yours is indecent, violates community standards, as well as my right to protect innocent, young children from such images.
Please let me know what you intend to do about this issue, as I will also be registering complaints with your advertisers.
Thank you,
