In a development as predictable as Emmy voters snubbing The Americans again this year, the Parents Television Council has announced that it is really, really upset about the interactive Dating Naked billboard VH1 is unveiling Friday in Los Angeles, at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue.

The sign will initially feature a tame image of Chris Aldrich and Kerri Cipriani, two suitors on the nude dating show this season, fully clothed. But throughout the day, passersby will be encouraged "strip" down the poster, peeling away tabs to reveal a naked image (with some strategically placed color boxes) of the duo underneath.
