What's wrong with being sensuous? (The power of a simple illustration.)
The Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board recently told stores and restaurants to quit serving Cycles Gladiator wine because of the label. Board attorney Bob Martin said the stylized, art-nouveau rendition of a nude female with a flying bicycle violated Alabama rules against displaying "a person posed in an immoral or sensuous manner." Yahoo story.
The image the wine maker uses is from an advertising poster for bicycles in Paris around 1895. Hard to believe that over 110 years later that anyone would have "moral" issues with this image. Just goes to show you the power of the visual. You can buy a copy of the original poster here.
