Here's Your #$&%! Sign

Would the next Eleanor Tinsley please step forward? The Make Houston Bee-utiful folks are at it again:

The city of Houston is poised to pass a major revision to its decades-old ordinance governing more than 60,000 signs on display at area businesses, proposing numerous changes that supporters hope will improve the city’s appearance.

I would like to add my $0.02: This time, let's make sure that all the signs are placed on the roadside next to the exits from the parking lots, at a height where they totally block the view of the oncoming traffic. After all, what you don't see barreling down the road at 50+mph over the speed limit, with the passenger in the left front seat yakking in a cell phone while eating a McSandwich and surfing for hot porn breaking news on his PDA, can't possibly hurt you... right!?

Riiiiiight....

Oh, and don't forget to ban those little white cross-things at the side of the road. After all, they don't make the city look prettier now, do they?
