The controversy-courting billboard for Cabana Cachaca on Halstead south of Lake has been taken down, Lee Bey reports.

The racy Brazilian liquor ad featured a naked model arched beside a bottle of the company's booze.

Head to the Urban Observer for the before and after photos.

Forget the people who get squeamish at the site of the human body; they're missing the point of the ad. The biggest offense to me is that it's such an ineffective advertisement. If you're trying to launch a spirit about which the US knows nothing, why make your one ad about a nude woman instead of a curiosity for cachaça? Cabana isn't selling sex, but that's what their ad says... and we know nothing more about cachaça having seen it. A little subtlety would have gone a long way. Common sense would have gone further.

i come from France where we are a little more open to theses things
There is a big deal of hypocritisy here in the US, This false stance on decency is absurd
Why is it accepted that we can show a guy get his brain exploded by a bullet but a pair of breast is offensive?
And i'm not even talking about the internet..­..........­....

I love that visual...just not rounding a bend at sixty miles an hour.
I can see why they took it down. But I do love that visual.

I've seen more provocative billboards in Europe.

I would ask my Spanish friends, "what do you think about that sexy nude billboard on the corner?", and they would respond "what billboard?"

You are so right. Ads in Europe beyond ours in terms of nudity which sells products no matter where you're from. Unfortunately we've allowed religion to creep into politics so that ads even become fodder for the religious organization of the day to witch and moan about.

we could go on and on about TV and what people consider offensive and yet..there's that remote that changes the channel or the v chip that needs coding to prevent little johnny from watching offensive TV.

the constitution states separation church and state. i say lets get every religion out of government.
