Hot Dog Logo Upsets Spokane Some

A new restaurant in downtown Spokane, specializing in gourmet hot dogs, is getting heat for its logo."I'm surprised people are talking about it and it's creating the controversy that it is," said Serena Belsby, co-owner of Wild Dawgs. Esteban Vallejo, also owns the restaurant and designed the logo himself. The logo features a female comic book character eating a hot dog. The "W" in Wild Dawgs appears to have a double meaning. "And yeah , she has breasts, breasts are beautiful, it's part of being a woman ," said Belsby." It wasn't any intention to be naughty or to be offensive against people it was just trying to be fun," said Vallejo. Some however believe the logo is very intentional/Annie Bishop, KXLY. More here.

Question: Do you find this advertising offensive?
