Mixed Media

Oh, come on, Project Billboard. You really can't see the difference between the effectiveness of the picture on the left and the picture on the right?



God knows I'm no fan of Clear Channel, but as someone who still winces upon looking up and seeing a plane that I think is flying too low to the ground, I have to agree with their spokeslawyer when he said, "Those of us who have been in New York for a while understand the sensitivities that many New Yorkers have to bombs." And sure, they offered to change the graphic from a bomb to a dove (presumably the one that adorns their website), but then they went and rescinded the offer, after Clear Channel approved the change, and decided to sue them for breach of contract! This to me speaks volumes. The hearing has been postponed to Thursday, so we should see a definitive response then.
