That is a nice example of guerilla art and urban design in Sacramento.
Yeah, great work.
Except that if it were your billboard by rights, with your message, put up there with your money, then you'd attack this as vandalism, censorship, an assault on free speech, and be demanding that the vandals repay you for what you spent to rent that billboard, saying that they were thieves who had robbed you.
Very creative. Very funny. Very hypocritical.

what is most offensive about billboards is not that a corporation owns them or wishes to promote its product. it is the fact that people are subjected to the message without their consent and without compensation of any kind (this contrasts -- for example --with TV commercials, which are baited with lousy programming, so at least you get _something_).
anyway if i am to be subjected to your message against my will, whoever you are, i deserve the right to respond in kind, to engage in debate, if you will. it is the equivalent of someone driving through my neighborhood with a bullhorn shouting "Vote for bush". i have every right to go out in the street with my bullhorn and shout over them: "fuck bush".

On the contrary paying for a message on a billboard contradicts FREE speech. Re-adjusting that bill board cost nothing and did so with out being permitted in any way, that is free.
Haha.
Good to see that my brother has good morals.
And to see that he is a good publicist.
