Billboard Spam

Did you know that there is a major league baseball team called The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim? Did you know that the logo for their team is a big red "A" with a halo around the top of it? If you didn't, then obviously you haven't been driving around Los Angeles for the past few weeks.

For some strange reason, the Angels have been buying up every free billboard and bus stop sign in Los Angeles County. And I know that according to David Cross, that when people misuse the word "literally", it is using the word in the exact opposite way that it was intended. Well you can literally drive down any major street in Los Angeles and see anywhere from one to maybe a dozen or more Angels ads. Maybe they think that if they put up enough signs in a certain city they will obtain residency status. But unfortunately for the Angels who reside in Anaheim, this is not so. Neck Face and Banksy don't have worldwide residency.

Translation of "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" = The The Angels Angels of Anaheim

    Did you know that Arte Morena, the owner of the the angels angels of anaheim, made his fortune through billboards, mostly in LA. So, he probably already owned all of those billboards, he’s just using them for his team now, instead of selling them to Geico or KCAL 9.

    I did not know that. Makes sense.
