Colorado Springs may be one of the biggest cities in Colorado, but it has some discomfiting small-town attitudes regarding Muppet cleavage. Specifically, an Avenue Q bus-stop poster featuring Lucy the Slut's furry pink boobs has been replaced by head shots of other characters after top execs at outdoor firm Lamar Advertising balked at the original design. Presumably they won't attend the terribly evil show, either. By way of explanation, Lamar account executive Jeff Moore says he won't approve an ad "if I have to explain it to my 4-year-old or my grandmother."
