All the signs are black with yellow lettering. Some guy made one (in the same style) that said "Jesus: the Adult Super-Saviour" Made me chuckle. I took a digi pic, but it's not that good.
Yeah, I noticed that driving from Illinois to Oklahoma two weeks ago. But what amazed me about the Adult Superstore billboards was that for every sex-related billboard, there was a Jesus billboard, often right next to / above eachother. Some just said "Jesus" and others claimed that pornography destroys lives.

It kind of makes me wonder if there were Jesus billboards everywhere would the porno guys feel it was their duty to put up signs negating them. Ah the Christianity/pornography struggle rages on.
You know it's to sad that the porn industry has managed to use "Adult" so well as a marketing tool. I mean who would feel guilty about going into an "Adult" bookstore... much better than even going into a "Used" bookstore...
Wonder if we could get them calling it smut again...
For the record, as soon as you see Jesus billboards all over the place, then you know you have the perfect environment to set up a porn shop. Because all the kids have grown up with Christian moms and dads, and so they don't really appreciate the faith that they're kinda confessing.

Kids these days generally don't need sex stores - apart from the fact that they can't buy at "adult" stores, anyway.
Your reasoning is messed up.

Not quite as ironic as the Christian church above the prostutuon house in Amsterdam. There is actually some interesting history behind it, but I'll leave that up you you to discover on your own. I believe it is commonly referred to Our Lord in the Attic.

better than a Used Adult bookstore
damn, it's dark here or I'd go takeya a pic... right up the street we have 'Todays Adult Bookstore' (ultra-tacky front with mannequins in lycra in the front window) right next door to 'Dayton Church Supply'. They've both been there for years, rather the joke of the city, Garrison Keillor even picked up on it...
No word on whether they lunch together, offer discounts, etc...
