playboy billboard.jpg
A billboard showing a Playboy centerfold.

It’s no secret that Slovenian advertisements, including billboards, are racy (<– potentially NSFW) especially by American standards. The new Playboy Slovenia billboard, though, seems to have kicked things up a notch. Basically, it’s a centerfold picture that’s been plastered onto large billboards and put up all around the country. The one above, for example, is located fairly close to a kindergarten. I can’t even imagine what the American reaction to this would be, nor can I imagine something that would cause an equal level of outrage among Slovenes. Maybe if someone put up a billboard saying "Give the Bay of Piran to Croatia"? I don’t know. I still haven’t figured out where the Slovenian public’s threshold is.

The business-daily Finance recently conducted an online poll, asking readers "Do you think the nudity shown on the Playboy billboard is acceptable?" Not surprisingly, the majority (62%) said "Hell, yeah." Finance also published a larger, clearer picture of the billboard here, if you want to see it.

(Thanks Vlasta!
