A controversy is brewing in Connecticut over a billboard for a rehabilitation center.

CHESHIRE, Connecticut -- A controversy is brewing in Connecticut over a billboard for a rehabilitation center.



It asks "who's caring for your mom?" while showing a shirtless man, wearing nothing by a stethoscope around his neck.



A spokesperson for the center in Cheshire says the ad is just meant to be cheeky.



She just wanted to highlight that her facility has a women only floor, staffed only by female nurses.



Which she says is a unique service.



Some critics say the ad is in poor taste.



Others say it's just ineffective, and they just don't get it.
