A Little Common Sense on a Billboard



A series of billboards have been appearing across America with a dose of common sense about the recession. Paid for by an anonymous benefactor, the billboards capture American common sense and urge us not to panic.

The campaign entitled "Recession 101" was designed by Florida-based designer Charlie Robb in order to remind Americans of the things that make this country great. Using ad space donated by the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) the campaign includes billboards, bus shelters and even a prominent placement in New York's Time Square.

Whoever is putting these up needs to stop wasting time in big cities and put them in small town southern America. It's where I am from and live and people here are have no idea what is going on. The funny thing is that most of the poor are doing just the same as before because they had no money any where. Its only the middle class that is fucked because they decided to get a nice house, a car, and boat for some god damn reason. Wealth does not arrive because of the things you own.
It feels good to write.
