I was going to post comments, but Steve wrote my general
drift. I would add that it was only last summer that Sam Adams
ran their public sex promotion with the Opie and Anthony
Show, which seems to be in the direction you want to take, and
they suffered a serious backlash. I would expect marketers to
be skittish about putting forth a bad boy image.

It would risqué, but not cross over the line like that. Not promoting
something that's against the law, not promoting public sex, and not trying
to shock or offend the public. It would all be on a closed production
studio set, no sexual intercourse would be involved (Nudity, yes. Sex,
no.), everyone in attendance would be well-aware of what would be taking
place (no Candid Camera sort of thing), all participants would know ahead of
time what's expected and voluntary participate, and anyone about to watch
the program would be warned at the beginning that nudity will be shown ("The
following program contains nudity.").
