Huge subliminal billboard in Houston

[adam12]

Seeing this from about a mile away, my eyes got as wide as a kid on Christmas. The closer I got, my jaw dropped to the floor... it is incredible... awe-inspiring... spotted in Houston last month or so

Hah. I know that sign, and right where you are at.

 

[misterlowercase]

That is totally cool!

:D
I wonder if it's one of those wrap kind?
I'd be like calling the sign co. and say hey don't throw it away I want it,

cut out the pipe and have a huge banner!

:P

Sweet! That falls in the "any publicity is good publicity" category.

If that doesn't sell a few tobacco pipes, nothing will.

I guess the joke is that contrary to the words on the sign it IS a pipe and is IS by Magritte.
But technically, I guess, it is a *picture* of a pipe and a *picture* of the Magritte painting of a pipe.
Anyway, it's a great billboard.

Ah....the powerful hand of destiny made your bed for you and now you must lay in it. And ya don't fight your own destiny, and ya don't eat crackers in the bed of your future or you get all........scratchy.

Exactly. If I was an entrepreneur, I would have been at the intersection selling Stanwells and tins of Escudo.

I am shocked the anti's were not out in force standing below the sign screaming their guts out to have the sign destroyed. I can picture them calling anyone who will listen crying about how that will cause teen age pipe smoking. Houston has some balls, gotta love those Texans.
