Mitt Romney caught up in billboard affair
Source: Boston Herald
A Southie billboard advertising a website for adulterers, which slammed White House wannabe Mitt Romney over his tax returns, disappeared less than 24 hours after it went up after the media company got complaints from fans of the ex-gov. “It didn’t even survive 24 hours,” AshleyMadison.com founder Noel Biderman told the Track. “This doesn’t feel like America to me. It’s like something that would happen in some Central American dictatorship.” OK, so here’s the deal: Biderman rented a billboard in Southie to advertise his website, which promises to hook up people who are in relationships but looking for some side action. The billboard features a pic of the ex-Mass. governor with his fingers to his lips in a “Shhhh” pose. The caption read: “If cheating on your taxes is OK ... so is AshleyMadison.com.”  Read more: http://news.bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view/20220913mitt_caught_up_in_billboard_affair/srvc=home&position=also
