A billboard, which sexualizes breastfeeding, has been deemed too risque for Los Angeles' streets.

The ad by CougarLife.com, which is an online dating site that connects older women with younger men, shows a nude woman breastfeeding a baby.

In the billboard commercial, a thought bubble floats above the baby's head, saying "Jealous?" the Huffington Post reported.

The advertisement also pixelates the point at which the baby's lips meet the mother's nipples, much like adult content.

The poster went up on Sunset Boulevard just after Mother's Day, but is set to be taken down on Thursday morning because of community pressure.
