AppleGreen Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I read the other thread on the billboard in NC. I thought it was strange, but I guess it got stranger. A new sign in place of the original one reads: "Much Ado About Nothing. A social experiment that brought forth those so immersed in their own insecurity that in the mirror they could only see an angry victim of their incorrect interpretation of a silly billboard -- Bless their hearts." http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/new-billboard-off-business-draws-renewed-criticism/article_284183f2-b6cd-5aaa-9170-c2d818f6c1b4.html The source of the billboard has requested they remain anonymous.

Seasider Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I did end up googling a bit after the last thread. I've been waiting to see if a certain organization would step up to take credit. If you're curious, take a look at the twitter feed for a user with the handle "RealMenProvide." Kind of twisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they got tired of their first 5 minutes of fame ending, so came up with another to regain it. All anonymously, of course, bless their hearts. :lol: At least they let everyone know this time that they are just idiots. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Let me say something completely outrageous and offensive, and then call you stupid for "playing in to my scheme." I hate people like that. It is so juvenile. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I think it's weird that "ha ha, I was just doing/saying it to get a rise out of you" is considered by anyone older than 14 to be a positive defense. I mean, yeah, everyone knows that people who pick on other people are doing it to provoke a reaction, and that they think getting one means they "won" the interaction. But most people recognize that as juvenile behavior. It seems like in certain Internet spaces, and now this billboard interaction, some adults never made it to that stage of maturity. Agreed. It feels like they never left Middle school! I can't figure it out either. Middle School is terrible. It's the worst. If one is going to have a "Ground Hog Day" Bill Murray life, why choose middle school drama as your thing to repeat. No thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleGreen Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 It seems so passive aggressive. If you have something to say, say it, own it and be open to discussion. I guess it is more about the 15 minutes of attention, than something of substance. Maybe they should use their billboard money for a massage or something? :willy_nilly: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The billboard was stupid and this one makes even less sense. I don't understand why people are protesting it though? Why protest someone else's freedom of speech. Just ignore it. They are obviously morons, right? Am I missing some good reason to protest? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 so stupid It doesn't matter what they intended. If a large number of people misunderstood it, then THEY are the ones who didn't present their message clearly. Because at the end of the day do they want to get their intended message across? Or do they want to be a-holes? Apparently they want to be a-holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyUnicorn Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 It could be part of someone's sociology or psychology essay/dissertation :lol: At the end of the day I really don't care about the billboard, but I have to say the response to the misunderstanding is inflammatory. If they weren't trying to be inflammatory to start, they certainly are now. So in that case I assume they were in fact trying to be inflammatory from the start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
