Sexist Image Used by We Love Lake Worth, Inc....

The above image (labeled "LW Hottie" and referred to as a "pin-up girl") is being used by We Love Lake Worth, Inc. on their (non-operable links, and all) website to promote their cause. Click here before they take it down - hope they do, and soon.

Also notice the "Lake Worth Beach, Florida" tag - a left-over from the Dorsey/Exline era debacle of changing our City's name. Guess we know where the cash came from that paid for this.

For information on other examples of sexist images in advertising and boycotts of companies using those images, please check out the following links:
