We've seen some strange billboards around Detroit over the years. One near downtown Detroit was particularly weird: a picture of a child who seems to be dressed in a shroud, along with this message:
If not for you, then for them: Take back the weather.
Well yes, I'd like to take back this rotten weather, but that's not humanly possible. So what on earth does this billboard stand for?
There's an explanation of it, in fact, on this site. To make a long story short, the message is supposed to be about global warming, disappearance of the ozone, pollutants, and the resulting change of weather patterns (El Nino or La Nina most likely). Obviously, the author of the campaign is warning us to take better care of the Earth for our children, and their children.
I first noticed the billboard about two weeks ago, and it took until now for me to find out what it stood for. That's what's annoying about billboard messages of this type: They make you think, but they also make you confused - which is not the way to be when you're trying to keep up with traffic on the freeway.
One marquee at a church in Taylor also stood out today. But depending on how it's interpreted, it could be sending an anti-church message. How?
Looking for love in all the wrong places, try Jesus.
The message obviously means that ones who want the right love should turn to Jesus. But if you base it on syntax alone, it's saying that Jesus is not the right choice.
And aren't people making the wrong choices daily? All we have to do is look around us.
