In the case of the Times Square church vs. a bidet company, a New York court has sided with the religious institution, declaring that an ass-baring Toto Washlet billboard in Times Square can not show bare buns. Now, instead of nekkid rears, the new ad "has a white bar going across the bottoms, 'in effect 'clothing' them by removing any hint of their anatomical features,' the company said in a statement." Dov Charney must be a bit nervous about the outcome of that trial.

As seen yesterday on the the American Apparel Daily Update blog, a little boy rubbing the be-thonged ass of an AA model in an AA store in Tuscon. We just really wanted an excuse to post this picture.
