"...If you want to find out where "Joe's Porn Shop" is, look in the yellow pages..."
 
I don't know, when that kind of hankering comes upon you, it might not be socially acceptable to stand up and start letting your fingers do the walking.
 
Besides, where is the last place besides your home, that you could even find a phone book?

What if the gov./tax payer got a "piece" of the billboard as in a fee or tax? Would they still block your view?
 
Yes they would! The Jipster is no sell out.
 
This is just common sense folks, you don't put 80' X 40' advertisments in the sky, it's just plain "ignert" and low class... IMO.

#63 of 76 While heading South to Kamloops, BC by euphonium

and needing a new tire, I was pleased to see a large billboard advertising "Cal Tires" in Kamloops. They had one matching Michelin X1 at their first store I stopped.
 
Billboards are great for promoting business, but not for the promotion of many other programs that are non profit and socialistic.

Wow... good thing you saw that billboard. Otherwise you would have just continued on your way with that flat tire.
 
Billboards were slightly more practical in the 50's and early 60's, when a lot of folks didn't have television and its advertisements. With t.v, internet, cellphones, GPS systems, junk mail and the smaller directional signs on the side of the highway, there is absolutely no reason to have those billboards... which I believe are the epitome of selfishness.

"epitome of selfishness" is wanting to see another's land/mountain/scene free of visual contamination. Denying the owner his right to plant a billboard on his property, that is not yours, is selfishness.
 
Billboards inspire, involve, & inform. Communication is advertising and advertising promotes business growth and PROFITS.
 
If you don't want a billboard on your property, fine. Don't plant one.

I think I'll move on to your block and put up a big billboard for the 'fintail restoration center' or something...
