Dear CBS Outdoor advertising department,

 

I know you’re having trouble keeping people’s attention span to commercials since we all have DVRs now.  We’re also not fans of outdoor billboards cluttering up the scenery although Atlanta is beyond the point of help when it comes to that.  And given the fact that due to the way that the city is laid out and the lack of transit options in the metro area, we’re not thrilled that we all have to take a car, thus creating traffic jams that are of epic proportion. 

 

So don’t take it personal when you find one of your outdoor advertising trucks with the tires slashed.  You’re taking the tackiness of a billboard, combining it with the intrusiveness of an advertisement in a commercially overloaded environment, and you’re also adding 20 foot long vehicles to the traffic nightmare.  In addition, I’m sure those trucks aren’t spewing out pure oxygen for us to breathe. 

 

Fuck you and everything you stand for.

LOL. She sleeps in formaldehyde to keep her youthful looks.

For those wondering, I knew it was CBS Outdoor since it was on the driver's side door.

Math+Science=Success... is a program of "The Georgia Partnership for Reform in Science and Mathematics (PRISM)", an initiative funded by the National Science Foundation."... I wasn't aware we needed "reform" in science or math. Maybe the reformation is to dumb it down so non-Oriental and non-Indian children won't feel badly. Glad to see your tax dollars working so well in GA, Cap'n. Sigh. Here on the Compound we manage to teach our son math and science without the need for billboards.

Gotta give those Mathletes their Props!

Re: Feeding the beast    By TSAC on 9/8/2008 9:44 PM
Because how many of those Mathletes are making as much as say Terrell Owens?

I hates me some advertising. That it can follow your eyeballs around on the freeway is, in my humble opinion, atrocious. (Gen'l - white kids can also do math quite well, sir...heck, even the girls are allowed to take and excel in math and science these days.) ================================================================================================== If it's in partnership with the National Science Foundation it's highly likely it's is your FEDERAL tax dollars at work on promotions up there on the truck. The same truck that is wearing out your paved road just a little bit more than the other vehicles. At least it is employing someone.
