came to add ass-billboard, see it's already covered.

moving along.

Could make for a good photoshop contest.

Make sure it has lots of flashy, colorful lights to attract attention. neighbors love that.

/still a few barns with that paint job around here

More then a few around here that still say that, including one large building just as you drive into the old downtown. "BUCKEYE TOBACCO AND CANDY COMPANY" in 3-ft tall letters.

You could always borrow it from your in-laws.

How the fark did he manage that without having to file for a variance? There's no way in hell that would have slipped by the neighbors.

Bum Ass Shave

I thought we were hitting Idiocracy a few years back when KFC was fixing pot holes then spray painting their logo over the patched road.

FTA: When they saw the house...neighbors were initially angry and confused. Some even considered calling the police.

Won't somebody please think of the children?!

How appropriate. A deaf couple has the loudest house on the block.

Times are tough. If it came down to it I would choose living in a house covered in advertisements over sleeping wrapped in a newspaper (which is mostly advertisements).

We're getting closer to Idiocracy every day.

If one of my neighbors were to do this (and I don't think it would be allowed by the county), I'd have to consider burning their house down.

I thought about saying that, but realized Mrs. TheMighty would reach out from her job as an ASL interpreter to give me a biatch slap

That will be the follow up story.

Mendoza said he chose the Hostetlers because they are nice people and he wants to choose the most deserving cases rather than homes on the busiest streets.

So these are adverts for his marketing business and he says that he doesn't make the best decisions based upon sound marketing techniques. THAT'S just the kind of marketing business somebody should go with.

I live in a 3 story tall, flat roofed apartment building. It is a perfect white canvas when seen from google maps. Maybe I'll talk to the landlord and get paid to advertise his business

I wonder if my HOA will go for this or how much of a cut they will want.

This is why you need an HOA!!!

Old news is..... Old?

Most cities prohibit any such activity*. I'm surprised this isn't the case here.

* Well, sometimes you can put up a small sign, like 12" if you run a home business; you need permits though.

i like that. it is mutually beneficial. junk food & soda vending machines in schools, that is something to bark about.

/i eat KFC once in a blue moon & get sick every time.
//i'm an idiot. and fat. very, very fat. like OMG fat.

$2000/month. Where do I sign up?

minimal city rules governing this...until the next session of city council.

FTA the couple in the house are both deaf which ususally means they are likely to be severly underemployed and the business owners chose them based on deserving the payments vs. being in a high traffic area. I like that aspect of this story.

your cunning snark might have missed the fact that ....Fark, Reddit, Bloggers, CNN, FOX, ...and so forth will add 1000's clicks/words/coverage to the story, drive people to the marketing firm's website, who will get 1000's of more applications, get shared on 100's of FaceBook pages, ta da we just got your investment massive amounts of national coverage and press.

Due to the popularity increase in labor to properly paint the billboard homes our service our rates increased by 10% this quarter.

I'd do it even though we don't have trouble paying the mortgage. It'd be nice to have that extra cash. Only problem is we're on a dead-end, private way with like 7 houses or so, so there's basically no traffic. They'd never go for it.

Good to know that you're a douche.
If I ever run into you remind me to burn you down.

/oh no, a farking QR code - better alert the milicents
/Giant billboards? Aside from not being giant, they aren't even considered billboards according to the colloquial vernacular!

I guess they painted those into the mid 90's. Must have been a decent deal for farmers. Hey free barn paint job right?

That was the idea. Back in the day, you could get your barn painted black (Mail Pouch) red (Coke) or red white and blue (local politicans)
