My state disallows billboard advertising, which I forget until I cross into another state and have to suffer through Jesus and injury lawyer ads.
One of the many great things about Vermont
Never been, but I've heard it's lovely.
Not the easiest place to get to, but it sure is beautiful
Vermont? I remember that that's a thing there.
Why is it always lawyers?
I saw one that was just a photo of an eye and a phone number. I wasn't from the area, so it was driving me nuts wondering what it meant. Didn't take long driving through the area to learn that this lawyer has so many different billboards up, that his eye alone has become recognizable.
That's crazy! Hope he never gets a retina biometric lock on his door.
There must be a lot of money in injury law, but no nationally-known firms, so your choice is either a referral or their name bobbing out of your subconscious from driving past it every day.
In CA there's this injury lawyer who has billboards all over highway 101 from San Francisco to San Diego. Hundreds of billboards. His name on the billboards is Sweet James and he has a pony tail. Sweet James. I don't know how a lawyer could become so seemingly popular while using that name.
I couldn't believe driving through Missouri. What a shit hole.
I never saw these personally, but ten years ago in Matt Gaetz's district a shelter ran billboards with "She's your daughter, not your date". Yikes.
