We have all driven down endless interstates, passing plenty of eye-catching billboards along the way. But it seems the longer we drive, the more frequent and outrageous the giant advertisements become. In some places, particularly near casinos, billboards can be found almost every 600 feet. This appalling number of distractions leads some people to question, "Are advertisers being a bit excessive?" Sure some of their slogans are funny and give readers a heartfelt laugh, but with so many billboards floating in front of our faces, we never see them all. Many people are aggravated because they just cannot seem to get away from the sales pitches and slogans.
Could billboards soon become as annoying as telemarketers? No one can tell for sure, but in the meantime, Americans will continue to drive highways full of advertisements. And unfortunately for us, there seems to be no end to the incessant slogans in sight.

Hi Ashley. You are so right about billboards. I find them very annoying. I don't find them quite as annoying as telemarketers, because it is a simple thing to look away from a billboard. But there are some places were the billboards are so thick, you forget that you are driving around outdoors in what is supposed to be the beauty of God's creation. I consider billboards to be a sort of pollution. -Jen
