OMG, I laughed so hard at PW's holey socks...Mr. Big Deal is too cheap/important to care what his socks look like.ETA: My mom would have totally given him the Speech about how little elves didn't put socks in the drawer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I ride under that building every day, and don't appreciate it at all. What I will appreciate is the Chrysler Building, which I'll see from across the river on my way to my friend's house.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards.

1) Generally speaking, isn't there a part of setting up billboards where you get approval from local authorities beforehand? Like zoning and licensing and stuff?

1A) Do you really think the MBTA would license the support columns of the route 93 overpass, even if they were allowed to by law, which I am pretty sure they are not?

2) Generally speaking, aren't billboards made of flat paper, not "magnetic lights"?

...Well, that's one way to get fame. Get yourself fired on national television!

Mostly lurking...

Like zoning and licensing and stuff?

Yes. They've talked about that on the news.

Do you really think the MBTA would license the support columns of the route 93 overpass, even if they were allowed to by law, which I am pretty sure they are not?

Um...no.

Generally speaking, aren't billboards made of flat paper, not "magnetic lights"?

You would think.

They're showing pictures from a former Mass College of Art's website that show 17 locations with this device. They think this guy might be involved.

The police are at Fenway right now taking down another one.
