In Park Slope, playpens are for children only.
A giant billboard for “Peyton’s Playpen,” a Sunset Park jiggle joint, is rattling Park Slope snobs who took to the Web to denounce it.
The ad, on the side of a building on Fourth Avenue and President Street, features little skin, but a model smiles suggestively amid a call for “Dancers Wanted.”
“Obviously, this is inappropriate for our neighborhood, is there anything that can be done?” one annoyed woman complained to real-estate blog Brownstoner. “As far as I’m concerned, it is better that it is a woman’s face, instead of a suggestive photo of a woman’s body, but it is still not right for Park Slope!”
Another woman agreed: “I sure wouldn’t want it right outside my building.”
The owner of Ivy Garden, a 24-hour organic grocery,, complained to billboard company Lamar that the sign was not a good match for the side of his store.
“It’s his store, and it affects the image of the store,” a worker said.
Others were on the other side of the pole.
“I think the real question is, are children welcome? Because I do love a good pub that’s family friendly,” posted “Heather.”
“Plus, what baby doesn’t love female breasts? I mean, these are Park Slope children, they’re all breast fed!”
“I would need to visit before saying if it was right for Park Slope or not,” another mocked.
“Yeah, maybe they have stroller parking and an organic buffet.”
Others said critics of the billboard reeked of “elitism.”
“Are people in Park Slope asexual robots who don’t visit strip clubs? And, in turn, what neighborhood is this then ‘appropriate’ for? If you’re worried about the kids, guess what— kids live in every single neighborhood in this city,” wrote “nyll.”
“It’s not like they slapped this rather subdued billboard on the side of the Berkeley Carroll School,” wrote “Mildred Fierce,” referencing the Park Slope private school where tuition costs up to $35,365 a year.
“But hey,” she continued, “ if this convinces even one annoying self-absorbed/entitled Park Sloper to move to the suburbs, then #winning!”
Doreen Baskin, who stopped to look at the ad, said, “It could be a lot more offensive.”
She did not worry about her 10-year-old son’s reaction: “He hates girls.”
