Arrangement Finders: The dating website for 'mutually beneficial arrangements' is causing controversy with two billboards promoting dating a 'sugar daddy' and giving oral sex as aspirational jobs for students.
Marketing director, AJ Perkins, explained that the website, which launched in , chose Chicago as a site for one of the billboards because the area has the 'most registered users than any other city in the country. The dating site said it had paid for the Chicago billboard, which went up on February 13 near the intersection of Ontario and Clark streets, to be up for one month. But It only took days for the controversial billboard to be taken down - voluntarily by outdoor advertising company , Urban Core.
The neighborhood's alderman, Brendan Reilly, told the Chicago tribune: 'I just told [Urban Core] it was causing some headaches, that there were some families who were upset about it -- families with young children -- because of its proximity to some of the attractions in that area. Causing controversy: The billboards, one in Los Angeles and the other in Chicago, which was promptly taken down, are accompanied by an image of porn star Bree Olsen - the a spokesperson for the site.
One commenter, who supported the removal of the billboard, said: 'I'm not against prostitution I believe it's their choice, it's never going away, sex trafficking is awful, they need to protect sex workers etc. Mr Perkins, who said Arrangement Finders were ' disturbed' by the billboard's removal after only one week, decided to erect a similar one in Los Angeles instead.
