  Re:

  Actually, I find it very hilarious, and snide, and think that the only way it could be any better is by having a dude holding up two middle fingers and saying "F U Lamar!"... But I don't think that would fly.
  
  What would your more highly developed ventromedial frontal lobe produce?

  If you mean Lamar Smith having a frontal lobe, he doesn't. He has a bill slot on the front of his head that only accepts $100 USD bills from lobbyists.

  They should put an electronic "Like" counter up on it and sync it to a Facebook page.

  Re: ClearChannel

  I'm assuming that ClearChannel is the owner of the sign. In my area, on billboards like that, there is a logo in the same spot which I know is the owner of most of the billboards in my city. The number on the lower left is the sign ID. If you want to advertise on that board, you then know who to call and also how to identify the sign to them to rent the space.

  Why is "Lamar Blvd" in quotes? Would you write "Main Street" like that? It's not the name of a fake or ironic place. I dislike grammar Nazis, but I hate the inappropriate use of scare quotes more.

  While I applaud the effort, the sign could have accomplished a lot more by simply mentioning Lamar Smith's name. 99% of the people reading this billboard will have no clue what it's about and will not go to the website or do any further research to educate themselves about the topic. I bet Lamar Smith would be much more concerned and upset by a sign that read, "Don't mess with the Internet, Lamar Smith. We can vote you out."
