An Ohio billboard between the Cleveland suburbs of Parma and Brooklyn has raised controversy with its depiction of a nearly naked female backside.

The Roman Equipment Consultants ad, which is located on Interstate 480, is designed to sell slot machines, WEWS-TV, Cleveland, reported Tuesday.

Cleveland mother Amber Patty said she contacted the owner of the company about the billboard, which she said she considers to be borderline pornographic.

"He said, 'Sex sells. I'd put puppies on it, but it wouldn't sell,'" Patty said. "It's nudity, you know. Yes, he has a right to put it up, but I mean, we as a city we have a right to get it taken down."
