I finally remembered to grab these pictures off of the camera.
Let’s start with this airbrushed painting on the side of a truck we saw while standing in traffic in Knoxville on our way to Huntsville:
Jesus is wearing an American flag loincloth. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out what it means but to no avail. Why is Jesus wearing the American flag? Where did “Rob” think that Jesus got the American flag? Does it mean that Jesus died for America’s sins? Maybe it’s a post-9/11 statement, and the American flag symbolizes the victims of the terrorist attacks. If someone can enlighten me, I’d really appreciate it.
Next I found this gem in a gas station bathroom somewhere in southwest Virginia:
You have no idea how much I wish I had spent the 75 cents to buy one of these. I want to shake the hand of the ad wizard that came up with this one. I bet they were watching Fox News and saw that Congress just renamed french fries to freedom fries. Then the light bulb flips on, and all of a sudden gas stations all over the south are flooded with “Freedom Ticklers.” Personally, I think It’s the patriotic thing to do! is a weak motto. I’d have gone with, If you’re still using a French Tickler, the terrorists have won.
Edit 4/25: Steph points out that “Freedom Ticklers” are a “Product of Korea”. Just when you think it can’t get any better…
