You know?
But I think the victory is in the fact that Paramount apparently looked at
this particular neighborhood and thought it would be accceptable to put the billboard there, but the "hood" said "NOT". Hopefully other neighborhoods will be just as vocal in getting them taken down!
(Why does this article remind me of Lawrence Fisburne standing on the corner in Boyz in da Hood?)
Below is a quote from the article:
(The signs were taken down in school zones in neighborhoods particularly wracked by gang violence but remain standing in other locations.)
"I give them credit for responding and being sensitive to the community's needs," Antonovich, said Friday. "It's after the fact, but nevertheless the bottom line is they are removing the billboard."
