Anti-abortion billboard next to high school
"A billboard dealing with the controversial topic of abortion is getting some attention. The billboard is in Marinette, near the high school. It's been up for about a week and a half. So far, there have been a variety of interpretations, and responses to it."

The billboard depicts a pregnant girl and she says 'my mom's going to kill me.' And:'my mom really is going to kill me.'

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of controversy over this anti-abortion billboard that basically depicts a fetus asking its mother not to kill it. It's on Fark.com and a few other liberal web sites.

But, put up an anti teen-suicide billboard showing a 14-year old gay boy with a message asking for acceptance, encouragement and support, and the rage would be heard 'round the world in about an hour.

My sheer hatred of conservatives grows every day.

1. Someone should buy the billboard nearest to this one...
...and put up a mirror ad of the pregnant girl saying "My Father is going to kill me... and my sister/daughter..."

disgustedly,
Bright

2. Funny, though, you're not allowed to say "Bong Hits For Jesus"
I guess the 1st Amendment is funny, that way? :shrug:

3. I have long thought that war opposition
-- should have billboards and those annoying billboard trucks, covered with pics of Iraqi kids with their brains splattered on sidewalks with a message about war.

Perhaps it's time for boards showing priests abusing children, or kids who kill themselves because of anti gay bullying.
