SEX IN THE WRONG CITY

Sarah Jessica Parker is in trouble in Tel Aviv, after showing too much of herself on a billboard for Unilever Lux shower gel.

After complaints and the threat of a boycott, the billboard was changed. "We're dressing Jessica for Winter," said a company spokesman.

Though I hate the sight of a woman's body as much as the next Torah True Jew, I have to wonder if this was the very best use of the Haredi community's muscle. It seems a shame to waste all that political capital on a billboard located in a city few of them visit, when there are poor and hungry people in their own towns and neighborhoods.
