My husband saw a freeway blogging in DALLAS on Friday!
He JUST now told me!

He said it was a spray painted image of Mao Tse Tsung and above it, it said ADVANTAGE and below it, WAL-MART. Advantage Wal-Mart: Mao Tse Tsung, classic. Wonder how many people who see it get it?

He's going to try to take a picture of it tomorrow. If he does, I can post it here.

I have not even heard of any freeway blogging in Dallas, so I was pretty excited about this. He said it's on Regal Row in Dallas.

Are there any Dallas DUers who have seen it?

2. In other words, you support Wal-Mart, you support
Communism. Right wingers usually react pretty hard to that. And they lurve their cheap Wal-Mart crap.

It's just called freeway blogging.

Check out this site
http://www.freewayblogger.com

I have done some of this myself. It's great fun and educational for those that see it.

The site does appear to be down, but you can check out this site to see some examples from those that do it often. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freewayblogging/

7. I live in Dallas too Bouncy Ball and I've been thinking about
doing some freeway blogging of my own. I would like to get a white sheet and write something on it and hang it from the overpass on 75 central. :-) I might need some help though. I've never done it before. :-)

9. What's happened to Freeway Blogger's site? Yikes,
I haven't been able to access it for a couple of days now.

We just sent him photos of freeway blogging in San Diego, where 8 bridges were blogged during rush hour to protest $chwarzenegger's special election.
