Now call the local television station and tell them something needs to be done about this "vulgar" billboard you saw. If your lucky, the billboard will be on the 6:00 news. You couldn't buy that much publicity.

I agree, this is nothing compared to what is on television commercials and shows. Maybe in the 50s or 60s.

"Honey I want a divorce I just saw a hot chicks knockers on a billboard and I need to go find her sorry" Yeah that is what's breaking up "happy" homes alright. If your worried that your family will be broken up due to a billboard on the side of an interstate than you obviously have other issues to worry about. How about for the people who took the time to write to you concearning the sign concentrate on keeping their family together and happy not how GM parts advertises.

***************Daily Hate Mail Update***********************

Now up to 5 phone calls

and we have 2 more emails LOL

Good morning…I drive Route 422 in Myerstown every day on my way to work. I saw a billboard by your company that shocked me. I could not believe that a company would stoop so low as to advertise with this type of immodesty and nudity when they are trying to sell car parts. I had never heard of your company and now that I have, I do not want to purchase anything from a company that has values such as these. It is definitely gaining your company publicity but I’m not sure it is the kind you want? Please consider taking it down as there are children, men and women who will be subject to this billboard who would otherwise not choose to see this kind of pornography. I beg of you, please reconsider your marketing strategy. I believe God will bless your business more if you bless Him in your actions. Have a wonderful day.



Hello. I called my local outdoor advertising company, Lamar to complain that the "Enhance Your Ride" billboard for GM Parts House . Com is sexually too explicit for our area. It shows bikini clad breasts close up and overspilling the bikini. On the breast is a tattoo of GM. The Phrase is playing on the idea of breast enhancement.
I won't drive by this ad with my 10 year old sons in the car. Please stop that type of advertising. I respectfully ask.
Lamar said that it is not their billboard. They sent a rep out to photograph the ad. They will contact me with the actual billboard company and I will voice my concern to them when I have a contact number.

Respectfully,
**************

How many retards live up in PA anyway? At least you're flushing them out. Nudity? Where? Jeez people need something real to worry about.

But the positive messages must be outdoing the haters by far.

I bet you haven't asked your sons if you should or shouldn't, have you?
