Giant pole dancer greets Gatwick travelers

Here’s the latest entrant in the rarefied category of ads seen only from airplanes—a giant pole dancer near London’s Gatwick Airport, promoting an online lapdancing club. Huge racy ads near airports are becoming something of a trend in England, following 2005’s sort-of-obscene Lynx ad. (Here in the U.S., we’ve seen giant ads with Eva Longoria and Colonel Sanders, though neither was shown pole dancing.) Of course, authorities are unimpressed by the pole-dancing woman and have launched an “investigation” into the ad placement.
