That white square thing behind the billboard is a generator. That's right--not only are these bright digital billboards annoying as hell and have the potential to cause accidents, but they're also using up fuel and polluting the air with the generators. Thanks billboard industry. Thanks a lot.

I couldn't agree more... ; )
I've often wondered if there is a way to hack into one and put a different message up there. A good Michael Moore movie for instance.
Hm you might be onto something there jrb. I'm sure dedicated technophiles out there could figure something out. These would be great vehicles for subversion ;)
Why don't they just use solar power?
Seriously,if CalTrans can used solar powered signs so can Clear Channel or whoever is responsible for these blinding monstrosities.
How is an electric billboard somehow aggro nerd rage when a regular billboard is OK? Two thumbs down on this post
