These billboards really pissed people off, I guess (19 Photos)

September 10, 2010 | In: Street Art

So a bunch of parents' group and churches are outraged at these 'Virginity Hit' billboards. One parent's group in Louisiana called it, 'The most offensive billboard ever.' I could think of a few others that might dominate in the offensive category. So here they are...

What do you think?

The only one that I find particularly offensive are the "Life is short, have an affair/get a divorce" ads. Relationships are commercialized enough these days without actively trying to profit from smashing them like an old fax machine.

The "Come a little closer" one is brilliant, though.

How is #2 offensive? Highly depends on the context, doesn't it? Especially since one of the things "thou shalt not" do is "kill." Of course, I guess whoever posted this just assumes the sign is talking about something they like to do. Unless TheChive is saying that anything with a pro-church message is offensive, which would then be evidence of bigotry on the part of TheChive. Let's hope that's not the case.

#2 would be offensive to the fundie types who want to tell everybody else how to live based on a book they haven't bothered to read all the way through. The context is the 10 Commandmens – Thou Shalt Not Kill, give false witness, take the Lord's name in vain (by putting your words in God's mouth) etc. and the real offense comes when they are forced to acknowledge that they are picking and choosing specific quotations out of context as support and justification for their personal agenda, regardless that said agenda is completely contrary to the actual spirit of the belief system they claim to live their life by.

And that's still irrelevant given the context of my original post. The "thou shalt not" ad doesn't specify which of the commandments it's talking about. To one person, it might be the commandment against killing, and how anyone could find that offensive is beyond the bounds of rational thought. For someone else, it might be the commandment against bearing false witness (i.e., lying about someone in order to damage their reputation). Who would be offended by that? Liars, I guess. So now we've offended the killers and the liars. How is that "contrary to the actual spirit of the belief system"? It's not.

#3 for the win.

The fact that 78% didn't have a problem with this is exactly why the world is the vat of greed and debauchery you see before you. Its pathetic.

# 6 is actually a prank the guys from the MTV show Jackass did. The two guys in the picture are the creator and a cameraman
