A group of New Zealand mothers is not happy about the lifting of the ban on genetically engineered milk in NZ and they have responded with a controversial set of billboards to go up around NZ adjoining their highways.

The group, called MadGE (Mothers Against Genetic Engineering in Food and the Environment), produced the billboards but it remains unclear as to which one of the members of the group actually posed for the picture. They have received a number of complaints about the billboards but remain definiant.

"It is definitely degrading to women, but more degrading to women is putting human genes in milk," their spokeswoman, Alannah Currie said. "It's punk art."

It seems to The Green Man that there are a number of people that will find the image quite unsettling. Of course there is that subset of males that will find the image quite erotic, an effect that I am sure they were not aiming to achieve.
