We just opened a Folk Art exhibit here last week specializing in lawn art
decorations. Some of these depict sexually explicit images. On the wall as
you enter the room where these ornaments are exhibited is a message that
says "Warning - sexually explicit images - may not be appropriate for
younger viewers".
Hope this helps.
