Geek Porn on Route 93?
Looks like Geek Porn to me, a fembot with DD boobs. I drove past this last week, I think it was on Route 93 south of Boston. Call me a prude all you want, I don't want to have this stuff on billboards along the highway. Idiotic sentiment, too. Hmmm, who can I complain to? 
I don't object to pornography, but I don't want to look at it on the highway either. Keep it in your own home, not on billboards on interstate highways. Ewwww.
Apparently a number of Quincy neighbors were angry about this too.
I'm with you. I can't stand these ads.

Sorry about the freshair posts. Yes, these adverts are borderline in that because its now 'a live flesh and blood woman' its ok. Its all in the visuals. Its the same as Lara Croft, she is a CGI creation but guys think shes hot.

Pardon my ignorance, but how is an object that looks similar to female form pornography? What’s next, a request that women wear one pieces that cover skin from the ankles to the neck on the beach?
Sexually provocative, maybe, but porn? Nah.

I'm that offended by the ads, but I do find them kind of creepy.
Also, what is the market appeal? The ads are very austere and only have this fembot. It seems very cold and lonely. Is it for guys who are like, "Hmmm, nothing better than sitting home by myself on a Saturday night playing Halo III sipping my premium vodka."
Kinda reminds me of those Japanese pods on NPR.

You'll never hear me calling for women to cover themselves from ankle to neck! Modest dressing, yes, I admire that. Total bodily coverage? Nope.
This image would have been considered pornography maybe some 15-20 years ago, no question. It's an exaggeration of the female form, similar to what's in Playboy. Today, we are so saturated with "sexually provocative" images that we have become somewhat numbed to it. Kind of a shame, it takes away a lot of the illicit thrill people used to enjoy.
GradStudent, I agree, very creepy!
