Pic of that Little Red Corvette billboard Hey. A friend in Boston took this picture of a billboard for the infamous Little Red Corvette ads from Chevrolet. I've yet to see the ads personally-- tv or print. Here's a link to a picture of the billboard ad for those interested.
http://www.uofl.edu/~kbob...rvette.jpg Don't "flame me" if some already posted a pic, please. I didn't feel like spending 20 minutes searching through miscellaneous posts. Oh, and, the pic is located on my school website. I just graduated, so that site might not be available too much longer. If the link doesn't work in the near future, you'll know why. -neokyle | |

Yeah, that's what I find most disturbing, not the actual billboard. I don't remember seeing their name on the same Corvette billboards in my neighborhood. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

interesting in the " you're much 2 fast "
they used the "2" instead of "too", but didn't use the "U" instead of "you"... | |

I just wonder if Clear Channel has anything to do with it. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

If billboards are the same all over...Clear Channel owns the billboard itself. The ads will change, but the board belongs to Clear Channel. I'm firmly planted in denial | |

Yeah, I just found that out. Making it even more dubious. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Not really Supernova. Clear Channel won't play Prince's music because he's not in the label game and the label pays Clear Channel $$ to pay their "music." Clear Channel will put a quote of a Prince lyric on one of their billboard 'cause Chevy paid them to do so.
Business. I'm firmly planted in denial | |

I suggest you do a search to find out what Clear Channel's practices are like, if you don't understand. Dubious in more ways than one, indeed. This post not for the wimp contingent.

I didn't think they could use the symbol without Prince's permission...or did he give it to them?
Odd use of it in any case, since the song is written by "Prince"... | |

Yep, these are in Boston too. | |

We've got them in Detroit too (go figure ) | |

they should have:
-credited prince in stead of symbol -changed the 'you' into a 'U' nice billboard though. don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine
purple music does the same to my brain i'm high, so high | |
