SA City Bans Sex Expo Street Posters For Being ‘Too Spicy’ (PICS) by WannaHowzit(m): 9:43am On Jun 25
The City of Cape Town has once again banned certain pieces of artwork from the Sex Expo’s outdoor advertising campaign – deeming them too risqué.

The Cape Town expo is set to take place from 27 – 30 June. As a result of several complaints brought to the City, the ‘Sexpo‘ has had to face the decision that some of their street poster artwork is “just a bit too spicy for the City of Cape Town”.

As a result, only a ‘tasteful’ selection of the provocative posters are being displayed on the city’s street poles.

Despite this setback, the Sex Expo says it is unfazed. The annual event is designed for over-18 consenting adults looking to explore sexuality in a non-judgmental space.

“Known for its emphasis on sexual health, wellness, and education, the Expo remains committed to creating a fun, inclusive, and immersive environment,” their statement read.

Last year, the Expo faced similar complaints regarding its outdoor advertising campaign.

In 2023 it was South Africa’s first Idols winner – Heinz Winckler – who was offended by posters of a “semi-nude” buttocks and raised a complaint.

He and local City councillors demanded the removal of the posters just days before the event. They also put pressure the street pole advertiser to comply.

This in spite of the campaign having been approved by the City of Cape Town, complete with official City stickers.

Nice!!!!!

This is highly commendable of South Africa! I think South Africa is far better than Nigeria. Their men are hardworking and innovative, not like nIgerian men that what they only know is to drink alcohol, smoke, kidnap and do Ritual. Nigerian don't have brain for innovations and technologies, It is very sad embarassed

Nice one South Africa! kiss

COMRADES are speechless at this weirdnews grin grin grin

Sometimes I do ask myself, what this world is is turning to? Should we blame the social media for this societal rot?

I don't think during the time of our parents there was anything like this
