After the mayor of Newark, NJ, where this Akoo billboard was placed objected to it's images, Akoo released a statement. Read it after the cut.
“The AKOO brand has always aimed to inspire individualism and creativity. Our advertising campaign was not created to offend or insult anyone but to simply provoke dialogue and thought regarding male/female sexuality within urban culture. We hope that as more of the campaign is debuted, people will see the multifaceted personality of AKOO.”
And in case you were wondering, Akoo is supposed to be an acronym for A King of Ones Self. <--stay in school people. Stay in school.
