I don’t know if it was planned, but I’ll be at Racers when you find out. . . .
Jesus? Jesus Who?
Oh, but it was, and I know EXACTLY where those billboards are (surprise–Kentucky!); I just don’t know which one came first. There are similar dueling messages all over the damn state. There was this gem blaring that “HELL IS REAL” across from rural truckstop exit with a gas station and an adult bookstore as literally its only features: http://www.kentucky.com/2010/03/27/1199612/hell-is-real-billboard-bill-dead.html
This is a common sight in the Bible belt. We had the misfortune to travel along Missouri interstates a few years back, and there was mile after mile of dueling billboards, touting Baptist churches right above mega-boards promising hardcore porn at the next exit. Couple that with nothing but Jesus and C&W on the radio, and it made for a very bizarre trip into an America we weren’t too comfortable with. Plus my companion was Jewish, and she KNEW there wasn’t much welcome for her. Bizarre.
Yea I remember all of that while traveling west-east through MO a few years back too. My boyfriend and I made a game of watching for them actually.
Just as likely to find a Baptist minister in either place, I’d guess.
or a “family value” republican…..
Only if Racers is a gay joint.
I prefer to keep my eyes fixed on the road.
I bet it was planned. In my hometown in Texas, we have a “gentleman’s club” called Heartbreakers, advertising over 600 beautiful dancers (and one ugly one). Just above the Heartbreakers sign, a local church posted a billboard stating “Jesus Christ heals the brokenhearted.” The church’s billboard went up shortly after Heartbreakers opened in the mid-80′s. Every few months or so, they redo the billboard but always with the same message.
