Mitt Romney ‘Cheating’ Billboard Taken Down in South Boston



A billboard depicting Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney in an advertisement for a marital affairs website has been pulled down from its perch in South Boston—less than a day after it went up—and the website’s owner isn’t happy about it.

“Apparently I put up an ad not in America, but in some country where freedom of expression isn’t tolerated very well; especially when it comes to the political scene,” said Noel Biderman, founder of AshleyMadison.com.

Ashley Madison describes itself as the world’s leading extra-marital affairs online dating site, with over 15 million members around the globe.

The billboard that was erected and then abruptly removed read: “If Cheating On Your Taxes Is OK, So Is…AshleyMadison.com,” and was garnished with a photo of Romney holding his index finger over his lips saying “Shhh.”

The tagline, “Life is short, have an affair,” was written below the billboard’s main message.
