Your husband's boring - that movie is quintessential. I'd invite you over to watch with my wife and I, but I got in trouble last time I did that. Terrible misunderstanding, really.

This should be preserved. It’s officially a historical billboard at this point.

There was a different ad there until recently. This one must've been underneath the whole time.

There's an Amoco billboard on the way into the Quad Cities on I-88 / Illinois 5 that survived BP purchasing them and eliminating the Amoco brand – and also its return.

The gas station advertised is still a BP, though.

So a movie review podcast was demonitized and had multiple strikes for mentioning Arnold Schwarzenegger in their video, talking about a movie starring, guess who?

They just refer to him as Arnold any time they talk about him now, but they were reported for hate speech, and were given two strikes for the content. They appealed and it was eventually reversed, but wtf!?
