Speaking of ads, check out the product placement.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110426/ap_on_en_mo/us_sponsored_city

Temporaily rename your city "Pom Wonderfull Presents the Greatest Movie Ever Sold" for the price of a few new policecars.


Hey why not, beats tax increases hollow.

Why stop there? Ad space pn the side of Fire trucks and Police crusers is totally availible. Water towers could display some grafitti that paid its way for once, the Mayor and the Aldermen could wear suits with patches all over them like NASCAR drivers.

    Matter of fact the Aldermen might compete to see who could draw the most sponsors to put a patch on his garment. Pity the poor City Councilman whos suit bears only a sad few sponsors logos.

Odd, I was able to get it to come right up by right clicking the red x and cutting and pasting the url (not sure why the red x, but it happens). I was even able to save the pic to my pc, but I don't see any way to upload it from there. Pity.

However, I can give you the text of the billboard:

Hi Steven,

Do I have your attention now?

I know all about her, you dirty, sneaky, immoral, unfaithful, poorly endowed slimeball. Everything's caught on tape.

Your (soon to be ex) Wife,
Emily

ps - I paid for this billboard from OUR joint bank account.

Truth or Consequences, NM changed its name from Hot Springs to Truth or Consequences in exchange for Ralph Edwards' promise to air the first show of the season from the first town who would rename itself.

This was followed by an annual celebration for the next 30 years, and an annual Fiesta.

Everyone is used to the new name now, but they call the town "Tee or Cee" rather than by the full name "Truth of Consequences". Nearby is Elephant Butte, which features a butte that requires a certain amount of imagination to imagine that it resembles an elephant.

Another local custom of New Mexico is that people with the surname "Cabeza de Vaca" are referred to as "Cee de Vaca". They claim to be related to the famous explorer, whose surname originated in some medieval battle in which a cow's head was featured.

I saw this sign online, hnumpah, and I really did think it was funny when I first saw it.

You should not allow sirs to deter you from bothering to post.
