Does This Billboard Beautify N.J.? You Be the Judge
Posted in: Uncategorized
New Jersey got a little weirder this week after local community-supported radio station, WFMU-FM, put up a billboard featuring Justin Bieber, Rihanna and, uh, Charles Manson on busy Route 280 in Newark.
The station, known for eclectic music ranging from William Burroughs to Pavement to the Who, is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign to choose and fund its “first (and last)” billboard, and while it ain’t over yet, the leading billboard choice went up this week.
“We’ve always adored Route 280 in New Jerseywe think of it as ‘our highway,’ so when we started a brand new morning show’Wake’ with Clay Pigeonwe decided to try going old school with an old-fashioned analog billboard ad, to try to attract new car-bound, traffic-addled drivers on Route 280,” says station manager Ken Freedman.
