If you're reading this, chances are you like cars and you like driving. Have you noticed anything unusual about billboards lately?

I like driving around in my old cars, or in my truck, or in my new Challenger, so I tend to drive any chance I get. One thing I've noticed lately, however, is that the billboards that used to tell me where to eat, where to get fuel, where to sleep, and where to buy adult novelties, are all turning blank.

I guess the lagging economy is causing companies to spend less money advertising. But doesn't that mean fewer people will know about them? And doesn't that lead to fewer sales? Fewer sales mean you don't need as many people to manufacture or sell your products, so won't jobs be lost?

Anyway, I'm having more trouble finding a good place to eat thanks to all of these blank billboards.
