Are they safe for tidal waves? Typical government selling us out to tidal waves for just a little MUNAY.

I bet BoA is behind them, like financing them or something. Farking BoA, evil bastards. This is a true story, I had like 20 dollars in my account and they charged me an overdraft fee just because I forgot and paid for my new plasma TV with a check, farking asshooles. If I didn't have enuf money why'd they let me write the check? They're just out to make money off you, stupid boA.

They can display a new word in Spanish each day, along with its definition. You know, to help the gringos get jobs.

BREAKING NEWS:

As Hurricane Algernon passes over Miami, two 500-ft. tall billboards advertising "MIAMI IS FOR LOVERS" are mysteriously found in Key West. Details as they develop.

Great. Now I have to plan a BASE jumping trip to Miami.

Would a 500 foot billboard fit in the category of building or antenna?

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Immoral pickle pictures in a Fark photoshop thread. I read articles about Rick Pitino orgasming in fifteen seconds and having his spunk run down his leg. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."

Considering all the damage I saw in 2004 to all the normal billboards and road signs this monstrosity just screams "Please Come Fark With Me".

Just for the lulz I'd like to see them put one of these huge billboards up, put one of those 'God' messages on it, and then watch a hurricane come through and tear the shiat out of it.

/if you really want to catch a hurricanes attention, put an advert for a trailer park on it

Mainly lost German tourists about to be killed by Jamaican voodoo gangs, and Cuban anti-Castro demonstrators beating up black teenage drug runners.

But be racist if you must.

I can't wait until the first hurricane after one of these things goes up.

Maybe they'll act as a series of huge air foils and carry the whole state away.

Drivers will get into accidents because they will not be paying attention to the road. They will be transfixed on the billboards.
No good can come from this.

They'd better have the security locked down tight on these babies.
Someone hacks into a 500-foot electronic billboard with a few /b/ images, and the entire city of Miami can be locked up for CP.

I hope they put them up right on the beach. It will help block all that salty air that blows in and corrodes metal. Also good for shade, so nobody gets sunburned.

I've been suggesting for a while that TriMet should sell the naming rights to our LRT and bus routes through Portland. It'd raise money, and the Nike Line and Blue Line are equally easy to remember.

when I think of the advetising insdustry I always think of the

Fishful of Dollars episode of Futurama. With the commercial of lightspeed briefs appears in fry's dream.


Leela: Didn't you have ad's in the 20th century?

Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree

Well, in the lightning capital of the world, a 500-ft billboard would have its redeeming aspects ... particularly if LeBron and posse were beneath said structure doing a photo shoot at just the right moment.
