`Sex' ads stripped from T buses
By Jessica Heslam

Carrie Bradshaw may know good sex, but the sexy siren isn't welcome on
Hub buses anymore. The MBTA plans to strip its buses of racy signs
advertising the syndicated TV HBO series ``Sex and the City.''

The 220 signs are posted throughout Boston and feature a seductive
Sarah Jessica Parker bearing her cleavage in a skimpy, pink dress
under the words: ``Sex every night. 11 p.m.'' The ads were designed by
the creative team at WB Channel 56, which is now airing a toned-down
version of the original HBO show, a spokeswoman said.
