Sex shop's mural sparks outrage

Frankly, given the store's name is 'Taboo' I can see the concern.

"Outrage as artists paint mural of woman feeding beaver on side of adult bookstore

* Jesse Smith and Miguel Del Cuadro started mural in Virginia last Friday
* They have so far used up 20 gallons of paint and 75 cans of spray-paint
* However, residents have recently expressed concern over their drawing
* Some fear the picture of 'girl feeding beaver' will attract children to store
* 'It sets a dangerous precedent' and may provoke uneasiness, one claims
* Store owner defended 'bright, happy' painting that is not 'overtly sexual'
* Taboo store in Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, is close to a high school

While it's true, the image in and of itself isn't sexual or suggestive, it is a "young girl." Combine it with the name of the store, and the implication is fairly obvious.

Stretch of first amendment at least. The community should have some say in visual pollution, like billboards and such. This could be considered from that perspective.
Just a little sense, as with guns 'n gays 'n religion 'n ideologies, might have restrained and avoided being restrained.

"Alive in Wonderland" rip-off the mural. Or, given the food is an apple, could see it as metaphorical for 'little girls are offering their forbidden fruit' (given the store's name again.)
