Ridiculous Billboard AHF put up on Sherman Way!!!



These guys are absurd. It's like the billboards you see in the south along the bible belt.
I got some thai food in North Hollywood and saw this billboard on my way back.

Absurd? maybe. But definitely effective.

FSC should be taking notes, they've been anything but effective for the last decade.

Pretty much agree with the Dr.'s viewpoint here. Hypocritical, trying to 'shame' the very people they're allegedly trying to protect, etc.

Looks rather ineffective and confusing...

I'd love to know the percentage of people in the LA porn industry who actually vote. I'm guessing it's incredibly low. Single digits probably.

i guess it's because I'm in the industry i read that billboard message as a no against the proposal not as 'those digusting unsavory pornographers say no so you should say yes' - i bet lots of non-industry Los Angelinos will see the message the same way, vote NO on B.

At a glance I would that that is VOTE NO FOR PORNOGRAPHERS. As in, if you don't like porn, vote no.

My roommate initially thought is was, "Pornographers, [comma] say no on B"
as if it were addressed to pornographers! Hahaha, because so many pornographers drive down Sherman Way!

AHF underestimated how many people in Los Angeles have some sort of tie to the industry.

They assume people will be repulsed by the term pornographer when in fact many that live in the Valley have family, friends or associates that are in the industry. Every time I tell someone in LA that I work in the industry they always feel compelled to tell me who they know in it...

Will it make a difference on Nov 6th, not sure but they did help out the "No on B" cause with that billboard.

I see it the same way you do Michael, but in the end I dont think its gonna make a difference, when you read the wording on the ballot that is going to sound very much like common sense to the average voter.

Yup. Advertising FAIL.

Agreed. I think the only saving grace on the ballot is that it ends with the words "criminal charges."

The normal non-porners I talked to about B have a hard time with the idea of someone going to jail for not using a condom. Fines they are okay with, they think jail is ridiculous.

If people read those two final words and not just skip over them, they might be swayed to vote No as well.
