Question

The statute is likely to be considered an unconstitutional restriction of speech because it is overly broad and subjective, potentially violating the First Amendment's protections of free speech. Courts generally scrutinize laws that regulate speech based on its content, and a law banning advertising in "bad taste" could be seen as too vague and subjective to enforce without infringing on protected speech.
