Former Chaplain Calls Bare Buns Billboard "Soft Porn"

A COOLUM accountant is under attack for his cheeky sign displaying a
line of naked bottoms to advertise his business.
Malcolm Chilman’s sign on the side of a building on David Low Way has
attracted the ire of retired police chaplain Paul Nicholas and his
wife Pauline, who has described the sign as soft porn and “emotional,
social and psychological environmental pollution”.
Considering the name of Mr Chilman’s company is Bottom Line Control,
it could be argued the sign is a play on words rather than gratuitous
nudity.
But the former chaplain has no intention of turning the other cheek
and has called for a boycott of the company.
In fact, he has formed the General Watch action group to ensure that
“decent community values” are portrayed on public billboards and
advertising in the area.
The chaplain, who recently moved to Coolum, said he was “deeply
embarrassed to be confronted by naked backsides sitting along a jagged
graph line” whenever he took his grandchildren to McDonald’s.
“If people did this in reality they would be arrested,” he wrote this
week.
“I understand many people have been offended by this tacky and sleazy
advert but despite the complaints, the owner, a local accountant,
refuses to lift his standards.
“This would not pass the standards for daytime TV so why should we
have it in our faces 24/7?”
Mr Nicholas said the advertisement may have been responsible for a
lewd incident recently in a disabled toilet 100 metres from the sign.
A woman and her young daughter were waiting to use the toilet when
they saw two men open the door and leave together giggling and zipping
up their flies.
“She was absolutely disgusted,” Mr Nicholas said.
“Men get excited through their eyes, so do deviants and paedophiles.
It creates an underlying seediness to the area.”
The chaplain complained to the National Institute of Accountants,
which has asked Mr Chilman to remove its logo that appears on his
sign.
But the accountant is fighting a rearguard action, claiming people
find the sign humorous.
“I suggest that it’s actually iconic and Coolum people get a lot of
enjoyment out of it, especially kids,” Mr Chilman said.
“Anything to do with bums and farts, they love it.”
He said the chaplain was entitled to his opinion but that is what it
was: one person’s opinion.
“He’s an individual and not necessarily the voice of the community,”
said Mr Chilman, who has lived in Coolum for 12 years and practised in
the town as an accountant for the past seven years.
“It’s been up for over a year and he’s just the fourth person that’s
complained.
“There’s been two complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority
and they’ve basically said it’s fine.
“I know a lot of Christian people and they don’t find it offensive in
any way.”
Mr Chilman said he was still in discussions with the National
Institute of Accountants regarding its logo.

If you're going to eat an animal, only eat what you personally shoot.
Factory farming needs to be criminalised, as well as lying to children where
hamburgers come from. Ronald McDonald teaches kids they come from
'hamburger patches'. I'd rather see Geoff Guiliano as a children's clown
promoting ethical diets and business, but he's too much of an arsehole for
my liking - and not because he's a vegetarian.
