Another illegal billboard from Ron English

Playdateiran Now that we’re hip to the work of artist Ron English (it turns out he created the “Jesus returns” ad we wrote about below), here’s another one of his pieces. English likes to plaster his own original paintings on billboards he doesn’t own. He claims to have posted more than 1,000 illicit signs and has been chased by cops on several occasions. “I consider [a project] a success if I don’t go to jail,” he once told The New York Times.

Rock on Ron! I'd support this, and the scary thing is that he, in this particular project, may be more right than he knows. Think where we will be in 5-7 years... Iran, China, Who knows what we'll still be involved in.

I did my time, and now minus 2 fingers I'm not looking forward to any new offensive actions by our government.
