The college professors do not oppose bright tacky video signs. In fact, some of the biggest and brightest are owned by colleges!http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/atlanta/stories/2006/12/17/1218metbillboard.html

If bright moving signs caused traffic accidents both Times Square and Las Vegas Blvd would be full of wrecks. There is nothing wrong with the signs. It is a CITY and a city has bright lights and tacky signage.

“Societal drop outs, a small step above the likes of college professors imho.”

Yes, those college professors are the ones who are compromising and poisoning the American way of life. Our country would be so much better off without those smarty/farty bastards! Man, it feels so good downing the intelligencia and all those smart geeks who laughed at me cause I couldn’t get it.

America: As anti-intellectual as you think… AKA: We’re a great country because we’re STUPID!!!!

Thank you Mary.

Hey ib? I lend very little to the editors. I STILL want to know why they would not give us a Todd Tiahrt thread. I have been hard on them in many other ways.

But see? Other posters cared about those issues. It was relevant.

This obsession of yours? It’s not.

This crusade of yours seems to be, as Ben said, personal.

The editors emails ARE listed above. The rest of us don’t care.

The last thing I would call JR is a “suck up to the WE board”, you know not of what you speak, “lbedevlinya”!

You’re funny ib. Annoying but funny.

Um….no one cares? I think that about sums up everyones attitude as to your charge, your demands and your one note contribution here.

My prediction is you will eventually get bored and change your nic again. I doubt anyone remembers your last one. “ibedevlin” will also quickly fade into oblivion.

And you will rant some more.

And still no one will care.

And finally you will go away and do whatever it is you do when you aren’t being a pest.

Save yourself and us a step huh?

Perhaps. It is just that your little vendetta gets tedious after a while.

Hmmmmm, gentle Ben, are not all problems personal to some extent, and, when a matter of jouralistic bias, corporate to a large extent?

One of the things that annoys me about these blogs is that that people don’t stay on topic. There is more discussion here about coffee than signage.

They are already senile; the topic went from bright sign lights to hot coffee.

Yep, you both are just fabulous human beings.

You will be old too someday. If there is a God, you’ll be really old and have to rely on others for a VERY long time.

This woman was so dumb…she took the lid off the coffee cup in an effort to put cream/sugar in the coffee. Her son was driving and stopped suddenly, and the coffee spilled onto her sweat pants burning her inner thighs, buttocks and genitalia (ouch) – course she was 80 something so I don’t think she was …well, nevermind all that.

Taking the lid off the cup while the car was in motion immediately made her a complete idiot. ‘Course, the jury found in her favor. (reminder: OJ criminal jury).

I’m with you, Fleet, I didn’t think ANY sane human would defend the woman in this instance – and I still don’t.

No I didn’t work today.Real life warning labels:

Liquid PlummerWarning: Do not reuse the bottle to store beverages.

WindexDo not spray in eyes.

Dial SoapDirections: Use like regular soap.

This is one case I’d buy into Darwin. Survival of the fittest.
