Mud Flap Flap in WY Libraries Campaign

September 20, 2007 - 6:57pm — John

The Wyoming Libraries Campaign features several catchy images, including a certain iconic silhouette -- in this case, reading a book. Some listservs are aflutter about the graphic, complete with straw men and all but pulling a Goodwin in a call to ban it. What do LISNewsters think?

Much ado about nothing, I think.
I think it's a great campaign. Sexy naked mud flap ladies read books, too.

Well on the listservs I'm on there wasn't too much discussion and most of it was "don't you have a sense of humor," "it's reclaiming the image," "it's sexy", etc.

Now I'm just waiting for the "coed naked reading" t-shirts.
