To say that this wine label is pornographic is ridiculous. It’s a classic piece of art from the late 1800s and originals are sold for as much as $50,000.”
The whole turgid tale is told by Bill Leigon, President of Hahn Family Wines which produces Cycles Gladiator Wines. Leigon said that the wines, ” available to consumers in Alabama for three years, have been banned from restaurants and retail establishments this week by the Alabama Beverage Control Board which has deemed the wine brand label as “pornographic.” Cycles Gladiator Wines has complied and wine distributors across Alabama have been forced to remove the wine from accounts.
Leigon notes that the Cycles Gladiator label “bears a replica of an antique French poster created in 1895 to advertise bicycles. It features an artistic rendition of a nude woman flying alongside a bicycle across a star-filled night sky.”

Pure jealousy… The mayor and council members are stuck with their wives.
#11. Boy, you ARE obsessed with the 2nd Amendment, aren’t you??
Unless you live in bama take your opinion and…
Seriously let the locals deal with stuff like this unless you want to be dealt with as you deal.
Devo was right. We aren’t evolving… we’re devolving.
#5 I was wondering the same thing
#21 – whaap
Wow… what a conclusion. I hope you’re not working as a CSI. Let me clue you in… look at the subject… and then look at my picture. Nah, that won’t work… logic isn’t for everyone.
The thing I don’t get is, having grown up in the US and travelled extensively eventually settling in Spain, I can safely say the americans are among the horniest, most sexually obsessive people on earth. At the same time they’re among the most prudish as a society. It’s quite a conundrum.
# 27 – no conundrum at all. When every you tell people they shouldn’t or can’t do something they do it more. Sex, drugs, drinking, gambling all follow that pattern.
It’s a little known secret but the Starbuck logo along the bible belt is covered up quite a bit more.
Okay, not pr0n.
Isn’t that why John Ashcroft had the statue of Justice covered up? These idiots who think that showing any part of the human body is pornographic have to get a grip.
Can we just pass some sort of Constitutional Amendment to prevent fucktards from making policy?
#32 Uh. They all are? What policy have YOU seen that is not completely messed up? Did you hear Pelosi say that a new health care bill will reduce illegal immigrants getting free care because they will sign up for the new system and help pay for it??? She says when anyone goes to an emergency room they HAVE to be treated. Sooo. Let’s all drop our health insurance and get free care. It’s easy.
Simple solution, pasties.
#12, thanks, I didn’t want to see that lol
Proctor and Gamble could tell us a few things about idiots and misintrpreted logos.
Governor fails to pay income tax eight years in a row. Before political career started. That’s ok.
Governor fights to keep gambling out of state. I preach my dear friends you are about to receive.
Governor accused of getting kickback from Tunica Casinos to keep gambling out of State. Who’d a thunk it? Funds Link Tunica, gambling organization to State campaign contributions. What’s wrong with that? Maybe this latest ban on wine is just another kickback scheme.
Al gives a tax credit for burning wood to heat your home. Gone Green, actually it’s more of a tar baby black.
Roll Tide
should’ve used a gun logo.
In ‘bama
human body = unnatural
weapons of violence = natural
neil young was right.
