Buenos Ares, Argentina - An Argentine human rights group has demanded a
magazine ad for Hawaiian Tropic sun-tan lotion, depicting a sun-tanned man
being dragged off by the Ku Klux Klan, be withdrawn because it is
"offensive to blacks." The ad, designed by an Argentine ad agency, takes
up two pages in the local edition of Rolling Stone.
It portrays white-robed and hooded members of the white supremacist group
hauling away an incredulous white man from the side of a private swimming
pool - a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic sun-tan oil in the foreground.
"The tone is humorous, the idea is: You're going to get so black that the
KKK is going to come after you," Carlos Perez, creative director of Grey
Argentina, the agency that dreamed up the ad, told the daily Clarin
newspaper. Human rights groups said there was nothing funny about it.

Colorado Springs, Colorado - A state liquor agent confiscated 29 signs from
Leonard's II Tavern because they contained profanity. The state attorney
general's office said the removal of the signs, 21 of which included the
word "fuck," was not a free speech issue, but a matter of public safety
(worried the F word may "prompt intoxicated people to become violent)." A
judge has ruled that Leonard Carlo can hang new signs while a higher court
considers whether the state can suspend his liquor license. Carlo, who has
the word 'fuck' tattooed on his bald head, celebrated by posting a sign
that reads YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY FUCK YOU. He told a reporter, "I want my
signs back and my constitutional rights. We have them fucked and they
know it."
