giant "JESUS" billboard on westbound I70 betweeen Columbia and KC

[pstokely]

at the 96 mile marker, anyone know who put it up? all it said was "JESUS" in giant letters (billboard company was Viacom)

1. My thoughts exactly. JESUS! They're worse than I thought!

[chalky]

2. Sure it's not an expletive?

n/t

3. Is it close to any of those "XXX" shops along I-70?

cause I think those pretty funny, especially since they are more prevalent in "red areas" of the state.

Is it new? I remember a huge cross but not a giant "Jesus" billboard the last time I drove that stretch back in late July (on my way to Nashville).

4. it's probably not fair from them

it's been up since last spring, I'll get a pic of it the next time I go that way

5. I've probably seen it

but I've blotted it from my memory. Is it close to those huge multi-pro-Tiger billboards because as a fifth generation Jayhawk I tend not to look at those. ;)

Do you see it from heading towards KC or towards Columbia? I've noticed that a lot of signs are only visible from one direction. Anyway, all four times I've traveled west on I-70 in the past year it has been after midnight and I was taking my turn sleeping.

6. I said westbound I70 (heading towards Kansas City)

7. Long time...

Been there for a long, long time...I have been going to Columbia for quite a while.

9. We have one on I-55 northbound in St Louis

right before the exit for the Budweiser Brewery.

10. got a pic of it?

[AllegroRondo]

15. No, but it always makes me wonder

"If Jesus is all-powerful, why does he need to advertize?"

[pstokely]

11. here's a pic of it

12. What could possibly be wrong with a billboard that says Jesus?

Is there something Jesus did that offends you?

[pstokely]

13. no, I'm just wondering who put it up

14. Little outrage with this billboard

imagine the outrage is this billboard said "ALLAH"
