In today’s post about Lima billboards we probably have my favorite candidate so far. I know I say that all the time, but these guys keep surprising me! It’s incredible.
Chris Castillo… ohhhh, Chris. The first thing I noticed about your billboard was that you felt the need to use a talking bubble, as if we didn’t already know that you were trying to communicate a certain message to us.
Translated – “Diets never worked for me… Sorry, but the truth is first!” Yes, Chris, the truth is first. I can definitely stand behind a congressman who believes in truth. However… this is not helping…
Translated – “This billboard (or panel) will not be knocked down… Sorry, but the truth is first.” After consulting with the Spanish guru (the fiance), she told me that the language he used implies that if you knock it down you won’t be able to knock him down too. (so much meaning in so few words – amazing). Look at that man’s face!
Actually, the billboard reminds me of one of my classes at UMKC. One of my Leadership professors in grad school once said, “The wise manager, like a skilled carpenter, wants at hand a diverse collection of high quality implements.” Chris is really taking to heart the whole “skilled carpenter” approach to this year’s elections. However, I must say, Chris, that that same teacher has also been quoted as saying – “Managers who master the hammer and expect all problems to behave like nails find life at work confusing and frustrating.” So, yeah, maybe the hammer wasn’t such a good idea after all.
For part four of this running theme, (and I know I said this last time) but this is THE best billboard I have ever seen. Oh man I can’t wait… …until I have time to make another blog post.
