    Precisely how many people have been full on ready to drunkenly bang their daughter, and were persuaded not to by a billboard?

      I like how there’s an implication with a roadside billboard that they’re driving home drunk as well.

      It probably helped prevent a single rape, but that was because they live directly in front of the sign and saw it illuminated by lightning a day they were drunk.

      Hate to be that guy, but I think the sign is actually meant for the daughter, not the father. The rhetoric isn’t “hey, maybe don’t have sex with your kid?” it’s “yo girlie, those things your father did to you were totally not okay, even though he was drunk/apologized afterwards/whatever.”

      I get that that still sounds painfully obvious, but trust me to people for whom “abuse” is their “normal,” messages like this handing out really obvious messages are still useful

        That makes more sense, it’s still extremely depressing this has to be a thing 😮‍💨

      Coincidentally, the exact same number of people who have been convinced to stop gambling by a giant casino billboard ad with a tiny 800 number at the bottom.
