Shop Naked

Banjo Jones fusses a bit about about a small billboard in Brazoria County that pronounces that one should "Shop Naked" following with the web url of the advertiser. Banjo doesn't like it.
The "Shop Naked" campaign is pretty daring for Brazoria County (which is "Where Texas Began") but one that is ill-fitting.

How are you supposed to explain to your elementary-age child what "shop naked" means?

I suggest everyone tell Gulf Coast Auto Park to immediately pull this billboard campaign, which is an affront to decency.
I say BOYCOTT Gulf Coast Auto Park til they do the right thing.

Must everything be sexualized in this culture?
When this same sign was posted in Kemah on 146 I found it a little humorous, It reminded me of the pajama blogging scandal . Maybe its because I don't shower with my clothes on, I just don't see the big deal. If an elementry-age student were to ask me what "shop naked" means, I would just have to explain. "That one can buy a car online, and not have to get dressed to drive to the car store". Maybe I just see things too simply.
