WHY we fight this. Yes, it’s THISCLOSE.

Here is my 7 year old on the living room couch.

She can read well now.

This billboard reads:
“Relax, It’s Just Sex… We’re All Doing It”
Sexy Lingerie
Adult Toys
XXX Novelty Gifts
1000’s of DVD’s
************************************************

So now I have gotten questions like “Mom, what are ADULT toys?”
and, with excitement “Mom, it says they have 1000’s of Videos!” (she’s thinking maybe she could rent “The Little Mermaid” or something!

So, if you wonder WHY we are fighting this, this is why. Unless you have seen this in person, don’t realize how close this is. It’s in my front yard, not down the road, not simply within sight. Right there.

VIP Billboard Truck 2009

This truck comes frequently (nearly daily) and parks, sometimes for hours at a time. Some people find this offesive o drive by this on the highway with their children in the car. Imagine if it came and sat there for hours visible from your living room window.
