"Feb. 23: Richard Modolo stands in front of a Coca-Cola sign that was painted on the side of his house decades ago when his home was the site of a mom-and-pop grocery store, in San Francisco. City officials say the painted sign in the Bernal Heights neighborhood violates anti-billboard laws and must come down. (AP/San Francisco Chronicle)

I'm sure there is more to this story than this article shares. By looking at the picture, it is pretty obvious that the sign has been repainted. It may not have been as obvious before, so maybe it is being considered a "new" billboard? What is even more goofy to me is that some want it removed because it promotes obesity...but then again, it is San Francisco.

So Coca Cola should not advertise in print, radio or TV? Or Hershey or....?
When will people start taking responsibility for themselves by making the right eating, drinking and activity choices rather than blame products for the way they look. Coke is not the demon making you fat...look in the mirror!

So it is Coca Cola's fault that I am fat!  I knew it was someone else's fault!!!!!   

I have to show this to my wife to show her that my fatness is the responsibility of the Coca Cola Corporation!!!!     tounge

       I have trouble with the city if I post a sign promoting my automotive buisness without a permit, but never hear a word from them about my original porcelin Coca Cola signs. I'm quite sure it's because the tourists love them!

So what else did you expect a bunch on anal-retentive, ether-sniffing liberal jack-asses to declare? (No pun intended insofar as this being debated in San Francisco...IE: anal-retentive, it's just a discovered irony.)  tounge

So this is how we're viewed in California? wow It would be nice to just concentrate on the hobby and to just have fun and leave political views/attacks out of the forum hopefull This has always been one of the places I can get away from that  censored be it left, right or somewhere in between. Cheers to all! drinking
