Outrage at school bus sex shop advert
Source: Yahoo News

A bus company has had to answer to furious mothers after placing a sex shop advert on the back of a school bus.

The advert for Erotic Dreams was seen by parents on the back of a primary school bus in Belluno, Italy.

The bus operator, Dolomitibus, hasn't commented on the incident, but faces running an empty bus until such time as the offending advert is removed.

An unnamed mother said: "Our children are old enough to be able to read this advert and come home asking what it is all about. "None of our sons or daughters will set foot on the bus until the advert is changed."

7. Some of those words on the ad look Italian
Can't make out the other ones, but I just looked up "Abiti" and it literally means "dress", I think in that context it means "costume". If any DUers who speak Italian come across this, maybe they can help.
