TAMPA: LAND OF GIANT MURALS
Seriously, what's up with all the giant banners hanging off the damned skyscrapers and large general purpose buildings in Tampa?
I mean, it would be different if they were halfway attractive. But they're not. They're giant eyesores.
I do hope the Bucs kept the receipt for this one.
Never has a spleenless fourth-string quarterback had such huge public love from a professional football franchise.
The latest gigantic banner I've noticed is this subtle little display along the sides of the town's largest phallic symbol, the Fox 13 Skytower weather radar tower:
Man, are they proud of their weather guys, or what? Love the lightning effect around the guy's melon in the photo.
This has to be the dumbest meteorological stunt since Roy Leep tucked his dog Scud under his arm during broadcasts.
Seriously, what's the difference in glorification between a banner like that and this little piece of artwork? You know, other than the Communist oppression.
