Why is this necessary?
This was originally an email to Joz, but I thought I'd throw it out there for some more comments and thoughts...
I finally uploaded my pictures from my trip out here to Wichita, and remembered this bizarre billboard that i had to take a picture of.
Here are my questions: Why are the quotation marks necessary? Who are they
quoting? And most importantly, what has happened or rather how many times has something happened to make them feel necessary to put up this billboard? I am also curious if any statistics have been taken about the success of this sign. has the rate decrease? has it given more people ideas they shouldn't have? hmmmm... so many questions for one roadside sign.... i wish the answere was as easy to gather as the Alien Fresh Jerky sign that you pass on the way to vegas (it is just a shack that sells jerky... i believe there is even a website.)
remember the days of good ol' fashioned billboards? what has happened? and why is the bible belt so fucking weird... "the world may never know" (as a tootsie-pop commercial once said.)

Posted by: :: jozjozjoz :: at September 22, 2003 05:36 PMThere is a reason why, in broadcasting, we call the middle of the country, "the people you fly over".
I stay West of the Rockies, North of the Mason-Dixon Line and (if possible) in CANADA!
Where in Canada? :) I favor Saskatchewan, personally. hehe
I dunno wassup with that? Its not like it is going to change anything.
