I've walked by this brightly lit sign at Sea-Tac about a hundred thousand times and I never really noticed...

...the photo on the right. You know, the troubled teenage girl with her knees pulled up to her chest, glowering at the parents who won't let her leave the house in that skirt. Because it's just too revealing. I mean, that skirt is so revealing it's practically NSFW. Let's take a closer look, the kind of look a passing straight guy might give the sign...

Um... is this really how programs for troubled teens are sold to anxious parents? By flashing—or nearly flashing—teen twat at concerned dads rushing through airports? What is a father with a sexually active teenage daughter—"out of control" means "sexually active" when we're talking about teenage girls—supposed to feel when a highly sexualized image of teenage girl catches his the eye in an airport? Concerned? Manipulated? Complicit? I mean, a dad rushing through the airport is supposed to see the girl on that sign as a symbolic stand-in for his own troubled daughter, right? So dad's eye is drawn to the ad by his own daughter's crotch (symbolically speaking). How quickly can a straight dad pivot from horny dude whose eye was caught by a flash of teenage thigh to good dad who's only eyeing the sign because he's concerned about his troubled daughter back at home? Is it instantaneous? Or does it require a conscious thought and an act of will? Or is it an entirely subconscious process?
