Non-Politically Correct Billboards

A local shot from the Greensboro area.

You have to admire the 100 plus year-old Sherwin Williams Paint company for choosing to stick with tradition rather than update their logo to be more environmentally sensitive. I suppose there was a time when covering the earth with paint seemed like a good marketing plan.

Of course, like the all seeing eye on the back of the dollar bill, there could be something more sinister as to which SWP is out to "cover the earth." I have to rule out this possibility though since I saw a corporate ad for SWP in the TNA a few years ago and I doubt (or at least certainly hope) that the publishers of the magazine would not accept advertising from the Socialist Workers Party.

Coincidence I am sure that the SWP UK has this logo on their site.

That is a broom and not a paintbrush, right?
