Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Um they already *are* letting companies sponsor roads per mile - perfect
evidence
(with plenty of time to see it in traffic) on the Van Wyck highway into
Manhattan from
JFK.

At least pavement stencils would be less obtrusive than the bigass signs
they have
which look like they are useful information.

Cheers
Martin

Uh-oh!  How long before cities come up with the idea to sell ad space on
sidewalks, streets, building faces, etc. to raise money instead of taxes?
For St. Patty's Day, paint clovers on all the sidewalks interspersed with
Budwieser frogs; for the 4th of July, stars & stripes with Budweiser logos;
for Mothers Day, Hallmark crowns between flowers; for Valentines Day,
hearts
with Godiva Chocolate ads; the possibilities are endless! Charge per mile,
per slab, per block...  Scary ain't it!
