Angela Burrows, a mother of three, is using <\/span>Change.org<\/a> <\/span>to petition Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to step in and stop advertising for the upcoming adult sex event.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrippers, sex hotlines, nudity \u2014 explicit images are being splashed across our kid\u2019s school buses,\u201d Ms Burrows writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, buses are picking up school kids with these inappropriate ads for the upcoming adult sex event, Sexpo!\u201d<\/p>\n

The petition has received more than 2,400 signatures.<\/p>\n

But a spokesman for Sexpo told news.com.au that the 2017 Brisbane bus ad campaign had not yet commenced and while the petition features a photo of a bus clad with an advertisement for the exhibition it’s dated 2015.<\/p>\n

Ms Burrows said she had been in touch with a \u201cbunch of other concerned mums\u201d who have seen similar ads on billboards right outside school gates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have kids in primary school for goodness sake \u2014 we don\u2019t want ads and links to watch \u201clive sex\u201d forced on them!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

MyFreeCams.com, a porn website which features live sex shows, is a sponsor of Sexpo.<\/p>\n

But a Sexpo spokesman told news.com.au while MyFreeCams.com was the primary sponsor, the website name and logo would not be appearing on the creative this year.<\/p>\n

He said the ads and collateral were \u201cnot overtly sexual in any way and do not contain any graphic content\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey simply highlight the event name, the dates of the event and some key show attractions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In 2010 the Advertising Standards Bureau said an ad for Sexpo featuring a woman on her knees and a man on a motorbike was the fourth most complained about ad of the year.<\/p>\n
