London
(ANI):
An
advertisement
hoarding
featuring
a
bikini
clad
Beyonce
Knowles
has
been
branded
'obscene'
by
angry
Las
Vegas
residents.
The
R
&
B
singer
appears
on
a
massive
advertising
hoarding
for
the
city's
local
radio
station,
but
residents
of
the
Sin
City
are
petitioning
to
have
the
raunchy
image
taken
down.
"It's
obscene.
I
have
my
two
little
grandkids
coming
over
here,
and
they
don't
need
to
be
seeing
that," The
Sun
quoted
a
resident,
as
saying.
"You
can
change
the
channel
on
the
TV
but
you
can't
change
that,"
the
resident
added.
However,
the
billboard
has
received
the
backing
of
city
officials."The
billboards
were
taken
from
publicity
shots
and
this
is
the
way
those
people
perform,"
the
station
manger
said.
"So,
to
show
them
in
a
jogging
suit
probably
wouldn't
be
the
right
thing.
"It
complies
with
all
the
locational
criteria
that
are
set
out
in
our
code
of
conduct,"
the
manager
added.
