And, second, when my kids were small and we were in the car, we used to make a big deal about something on the OTHER side of the road so they wouldn't see what we didn't want them to see. (Like a Disney billboard 'cause we weren't going there)! And when they didn't see the unicorn or purple dinosaur, oh, whoops, my bad...

My bad, I thought I had already posted it here. Anyways, here it is in all it's glory :D

NOTE FROM BIG WALLABY: I have removed this picture, as albino pigmy went ahead and resized it in a post below. Continue reading to see the billboard. And now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

And here's last years, just for those wondering:

I don't see what the big deal is. There's nothing really bad about this year's billboard. If anything last year's is even worse and less appropriate.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

How do you edit your own posts? Are we able to edit our own posts? If not, could a mod edit my earlier post and add this picture instead? Sorry about the really large picture, I thought this forum would automatically reduce the file size.

Miss Mary's Billboard is FAR LESS freakier than the Freddy, Jason, Leatherface of last years. In fact, it's pretty tame looking.

I loved doing Bloody Mary at slumber parties, although we always freaked out by the 3rd Mary. Never saw this doomed lady in the mirror unfortunately.

to be honest, the picture doesn't look all that scary ... kind of like a backlit "comedy/trajedy" mask from theater... and it's all sepia toned which reduces the impact of the scars...

I saw it yesterday on I-4 on the way to Melting Pot, and it was very ho-hum. As I said on Board X, I've seen scarier things in the toilets at the Magic Kingdom. Of course, I love comedy/tragedy masks and have a collection of over 100 pairs, so my sense could be skewed. The billboard just didn't look like anything for Mommies to get their undies in a bunch over.
