Bikini Ad Banned from MTA Buses On Taxis Now

NEW YORK (AP) -- A controversial ad with bikini girls selling vodka that was banned on MTA buses is making a comeback on city taxis.

Martin Silver -- who heads Star Industries -- who distributes Georgi Vodka -- said he's looking for a model with the perfect "bikini butt'' to be in the ad.

Silver holds a news conference Monday with a copy of the ad that will be perched on hundreds of city cabs.

Last summer the MTA took the ads off of city buses, saying they were offensive.

However Silver says the MTA replaced his bikini ads with an ad of a naked woman strategically covering herself by crossing her arms and legs selling something else.
