Might want to don yer reading glasses.  That's a paper billboard.

 

 

Pretty sure it's across the nation from you, no?image.png.a914e6400979188c6776c41e7b84a391.pngimage.png.69fbedf33b2cf7f164b0071afe00b24b.png

Actually, it's not. I was able to figure out where the billboard was located pretty easily, and noted the identity of the company that hosts the billboard. The company states it has two billboards at this exit, northbound and southbound, and they're both digital. It cost $475 per week for an ad to go up. 

 

Here's an article showing a different ad on the same billboard (very clearly the same billboard from the exit sign behind it -- Exit 350, CR 200 W): https://www.petoskeynews.com/story/news/2020/05/26/bored-in-michigan-come-to-indiana-billboard-says/115825998/

Ok, but that's NOT the billboard in my pic, if you look a bit closer...  (hint: it was modified using a computer program).  But thanks for playing along and "discovering" its location, which is still across the nation from each of us.  Now if only you could admit the wisdom behind the words.... *sigh*.

Not to belabor the point, but whether or not the sign was "modified using a computer program" (and I don't have any proof in either direction beyond you saying so) the billboard itself is still a digital billboard. So if we are going to get dug into the ambiguity of phrasing like "across the country" then we should also understand that (possibly) changing the image on a digital billboard on a computer does not change the digital billboardiness of the actual billboard itself. It is still a digital billboard. As Gertrude Stein once wrote: A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose. 

 

So, uh, monkeypox.

Probably the first-ever use of this term.  Keep this up and NB will feel threatened. :P

No, it's not.  Anyone with 20/20 can see that it's NOT digital in my photo.  The photoshop part was just a guess on my part.

Allowing others (cough NB cough) to post on your account is probably a violation of the TOS.

 

Didn't Gertrude Stein die after writing that?  Perhaps karma proved him wrong...

 

And I forgot to mention it last night, but great detective work on the whereabouts of the pic.  Kudos to your mad skillz!
