The word ''tits'' in a breast cancer survivor's book advertisement has drawn a complaint from a Dunedin resident.
A large electronic billboard outside Forsyth Barr Stadium is advertising I Am More Than Just My Tits, by Karin Horen.
The book is a memoir by Horen, twice diagnosed with breast cancer,resulting in a double mastectomy.
The Auckland-based woman went on to co-found breast cancer initiative Paddle for Hope as well as cancer rehabilitation programme Paddle On with trust Pinc and Steel.
A Dunedin City Council spokesman said it had received a complaint ''relating to what the complainant perceived as offensive text''.
The resource consent for the billboard did not impose conditions on the use of offensive text.
''We also do not consider that the billboard meets the threshold of being offensive or objectionable, as outlined in the Resource Management Act, and we will not be taking any further action.''
