LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A Lexington company says Blue Grass Airport isn't letting it advertise because of a controversial name.

 

Big *butt* Fans had offered $45,000 to display a large banner in the airport's baggage claim area. It also was going to donate fans for the airport terminal and hangars.

 

But spokeswoman Heather Henley says the airport board rejected the idea last week. Airport spokesman Brian Ellestad said he had no comment.

 

The company makes fans with diameters up to 24 feet. It was launched in 1999.

 

The company name certainly reflects their product..... <_<

Sort of took the life right out of the story, didn't it? Yet it wasn't censored in a major newspaper.......

I'm guessing *butt* is a euphemism for what it actually said?

You would be correct. The actual name of the company is what you are probably thinking.
