Billboard Non Sequitur

In the Fens last night we noticed a huge billboard along a stretch of the Mass Pike that was a black hulking tribute to 11 September with the names of the victims in white. Next to this was another billboard, also in black with white type that simply stated "Respectfully, stop handgun violence"....apparently a gun control group altered their message to match the sombre tone of the ones next to it. It seems like a giant non sequitur so I think it might be more interesting if someone made a giant airplane out of white vinyl to place over the word 'handgun' and in smaller type "and handgun violence too".
