    Have you guys ever seen these billboards? They were up in San Diego a few years ago and I was wonder if it was just a California thing.

    Some of them are pretty damn funny. I wonder what Gods advertising budget is? :D

    God-vertising gets around. I've seen them in AZ, Cali, NC and Kentucky.

    I've seen them in and around Chicago before.

    I think God has open ended credit terms with the billboard companies:)

    I see the word Texas on billboard. I live in Texas but am relagated to being in the smaller towns. Bet a billboard like that appeared in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houton, San Antonio, or Austin but do not know.

    I love them, they are great. Haven't any local, but I heard about them back when they were going to start them.

    I've seen some in Dallas, but it has been a few years. I guess God switched to Adwords or something.

    They were paid for by a church, I believe. Probably just trying to strike fear into the god-fearing...haha :D

    God's looking for brand awareness, when you're a multi-dimensional conglomerate, you can afford just general brand advertising.

    Kind of like Nike (He even has endorsement deals with pro-athletes too) :D

    Lol, thats pretty cool.

    Don't think we have anything like that in England. All the proddy chav's would probably vandalize it.

    In New York you see something like that on the side of large trucks: "G.O.D."

    (but out here it advertises, Guaranteed Overnight Delivery...) Back in the eighties, I suppose it would have been, "Get on Down!" (baby)

    Proddy = Protestant

    I though Bling was from over the pond in the US, certainly not the UK, it was just adopted here.
