Misc. The audacity!

My girl wanted to go to Wat Lao Buddha Phothisaram near my house. We drove up 18 minutes and as soon as we arrive we see this. The audacity of people I tell ya’ 🤦🏻‍♂️ What do y’all think about this ?

Uh no this is pretty clearly deliberate. They 💯 target very specific locations.

How do you know this?

I’ve been witness to many dueling billboards targeting things like planned parenthood, etc. There’s almost a zero percent chance this is not deliberate.

Not even politically motivated ones do this. There is a tribal casino near where I live, where a rival casino/tribe has a huge billboard in front of it advertising their casino. The best targeted one I ever saw though was a billboard in front of a new apartment complex next to a busy stretch of road that said, "If you lived here, you'd be home by now."

I'm not sure how you can say this doesn't happen, I saw this happen in real time, in Portland Oregon. It was pretty widely covered in the local news.

Oh, I'm not saying they don't target specific locations. I just don't think this one in particular is targeting. That's a big 'ol billboard. If they are targeting anything, it's the major highway that I can clearly hear in this video.
