Naughty Billboards

Miss Universe Wants a Cockatoo

Former Miss Universe Australia, Erin McNaught, has been featured in a series of billboard ads that promote a pretty naughty message.

The advertising campaign, which is also running in print media and on liquor store posters, features captions like, "She loves a cockatoo," "Who's a cheeky girl then?" and "McNaughty but nice".

The images of the 25-year-old, which she called "a bit rude" are part of a campaign for South Australian company, Cockatoo Wines. She had agreed to pose for the ads, but claims she had no idea they would be so provocative.

"I wasn't thrilled with what that line was implying," she said.
