Station Uses Biden F-bomb As Promo

An alternative radio station in Boise is using an explicit comment by the Vice President to promote its station. The billboard, located on the Connector, shows Joe Biden whispering into President Barack Obama's ear and says "V99.1 is a big (explicitive) deal." This new billboard comes just days after Biden made the comment to Obama when the president signed the health care reform bill/KBCI. See photo here.

Question: Clever idea or poor taste?
